Attached is a proposed list of Work Session and City Council Meeting dates for 2012 (Exhibit A). The following legal holidays fall on dates that would otherwise be considered Council Meetings: New Years Day (Observed – January 2, 2012), Memorial Day (May 28, 2012), Labor Day (September 3, 2012), Veterans Day (Observed – November 12, 2012), Christmas Eve/Christmas Day (Observed Monday, Dec 24 and Tuesday, December 25, 2012). For these dates, the schedule reflects a Tuesday. The only exception is Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Since City offices are closed on Monday, December 24, 2012, and Tuesday, December 25, 2012, the schedule will reflect Wednesday, December 26, 2012. In addition to setting the official calendar, Staff would like to discuss dates for the Council/Staff Retreat and the Town Hall Meeting. Normally the Council/Staff Retreat is scheduled in February. Below are some possible dates in February: February 2012 Wednesday, February 12, 2012 Thursday, February 16, 2012 Monday, February 20, 2012 Wednesday, February 22, 2012 In regard to the Town Hall Meeting, Staff recommends scheduling the meeting on Monday, April 16, 2012. Scheduling the Town Meeting on April 16th, will allow enough time for Staff to prepare a presentation from the decisions made during the Council/Staff retreat.
