TOWN OF LOS GATOS
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 06/06/2017
ITEM NO: 3
DATE: MAY 15, 2017
TO: MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL
FROM: LAUREL PREVETTI, TOWN MANAGER
SUBJECT: APPROVE TOWN COUNCIL MEETING SCHEDULE FOR 2017/2018 FISCAL
YEAR
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Town Council approve the Town Council Meeting Schedu le for the
2017/2018 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 due to the light level of staffing with the annual holiday 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 August 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 20 and 21. Staff recommends the
current proposed Council meeting date of December 19, 2017 be approved inclusively with the
attached schedule, due to this being the anticipated date for this year’s Board/Commission/
Committee interviews.

CONCLUSION:
The attached schedule reflects the July 2017 and January 2018 cancellations referenced above,
with remaining dates reflective of the 1st and 3rd Tuesday schedule per Town Code. The
attached schedule does not show dates for any potential Council Retreat, Boards/Commissions
Interviews or Retreat, or Special Meetings of the Town Council. In past years, Retreats have
generally been held early in the calendar year or as-needed, and Special Meetings are held on
an as-needed basis.
Staff recommends that the Council approve the proposed regular Town Council Meeting
Schedule for the 2017/2018 Fiscal Year.
