CITY COUNCIL MEETING SCHEDU~
CAROLYN LEHR,CITY MANAGER~~~
RECOMMENDATION
Consider the following possible modifications to the City Council Meeting Schedule for
the first regular meeting in November due to the election being held on that date:
1)Reschedule the Tuesday,November 2,2010 City Council Meeting to either
Wednesday,November 3,2010 or Thursday,November 4,2010;2)Cancel the
November 2,2010 City Council meeting since there are two additional meetings
scheduled in the month,on November 16,2010 and November 30,2010;or 3)Make no
change to the meeting schedule.
DISCUSSION
Section 2.04.020.(A)of the City's Municipal Code reads as follows:"When a Rancho
Palos Verdes municipal election is conducted in the City on the first or third Tuesday of
the month,the City Council meeting shall be held on the next succeeding day which is
not a holiday."This year the City is holding a Special Municipal Election consolidated
with the California General Election to be held on Tuesday,November 2,2010,which is
the first Tuesday of the month and a regular City Council meeting date.As it is for
every major election,Hesse Park will be used by the Los Angeles County Clerk as a
polling place that day,which will likely impact the City Council meeting proceedings in
terms of parking demand,room availability,number of people using the building,noise,
etc.Staff has confirmed that if the Council wishes to reschedule the meeting to either
November 3rd or 4 th ,that the multipurpose room at Hesse Park will be available both
evenings,but the Fireside Room and Activity Room are unavailable on November 3rd
•
Therefore,if Council chooses to reschedule the meeting,November 4th would be the
date staff would recommend.

Historically,the following occurred in the last three calendar years.In 2007,the
Regular Council Meeting scheduled for November 6,2007 was rescheduled to the next
day,November 7,2007,but that meeting was cancelled due to a lack of a quorum.
In 2008,there was not a municipal election scheduled for November 4,2008,the date
for the Regular Council Meeting,but due to the Presidential Election being held that
day,the Council decided to reschedule that meeting to November 6,2008.And finally,
in 2009,the Regular Council Meeting scheduled for November 3,2009 was
rescheduled to the next day due to the holding of the City's General Municipal Election
on that same date.
