SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: City Council is respectfully requested to move
the City Council Workshop from Tuesday, May 12, 2015 to Wednesday, May 13, 2015 due to
the ISD 834 Special Election. The recommended motion for this action is as follows:
"Move to approve moving the Tuesday, May 12, 2015 Council Workshop to Wednesday, May
13, 2015, due to the ISD 834 Special Election."
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: When the 2015 Meeting calendar was presented and approved, it
was not known that there would be a school district special election. Now that staff has been
notified of an election, the workshop meeting needs to be moved. State law prohibits cities from
holding meetings between 6:00pm and 8:00pm on the date of an election. By moving the
meeting to Wednesday, the City will be better able to conduct its business.
