MEETING DATE: 06 /0 5 /201 8
ITEM NO: 4
D ATE : MAY 15, 201 8
TO : MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL
FROM: LAUREL PREVETTI, TOWN MANAGER
SUBJECT: APPROVE TOWN COUNCIL MEETING SCHEDULE FOR 201 8 /201 9 FISCAL
YEAR
RECOMMENDATION :
Staff recommends the Town Council approve the Town Council Meeting Schedule for the
201 8 /201 9 Fiscal Year.
BACKGROUND :
Each year in June, the Town Council adopts the following fiscal year’s Town Council Meeting
Schedule, including any cancellations and/or meeting exceptions necessary.
DISCUSSION :
In 2004, the Town Council implemented the cancellation of its July meetings for a summer
recess period. In 2005, Council implemented the cancellation of the first meeting in January
each year, primarily d ue to the light level of staffing with the annual year -end closure.
Additionally, on June 2, 2014, the Town Council approved and amended Los Gatos Town Code
Section 2.20.010 changing the regular Council meeting day from Mondays to Tuesdays,
effective Augu st 2014.
Historically, both regularly scheduled Council meetings have taken place each December, even
if the second meeting falls in close proximity to the holidays. For example, in past years going
back to 2009, meetings have taken place on December 2 0 and 21. Staff recommends the
current proposed Council meeting date of December 1 8 , 201 8 be approved inclusively with the
attached schedule, due to this being the anticipated date for this year’s Board/Commission/
Committee interviews.
