PRESENTATION
BY:
BRENDA GREEN, INTERIM CITY CLERK
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: BRENDA GREEN/714-754-5221
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council consider canceling the regular scheduled City Council meeting of November 6,
2012.
BACKGROUND:
November 6, 2012 is the date of the General Municipal Election at which time the
electorate will consider a City ballot measure and three City Council seats. Additionally,
the electorate will also be considering the President of the United States, Congressional
seats, State Assembly and Senate seats and numerous State initiatives. Staff is
suggesting that the meeting be cancelled so as not to conflict with the election.
ANALYSIS:
The City Council has the legal authority to establish meeting dates and times and to cancel
or reschedule such meetings with proper and timely public notice. Such a change is not
significant as long as the decision to change the meeting date is done well in advance.
This will allow for proper noticing and posting of the agenda as well as allowing staff
enough time to place items either on the previous meeting (October 16, 2012) or the
following meeting (November 20, 2012).
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council may reschedule the regular scheduled City Council meeting to November 13,
2012 or choose to hold the November 6, 2012 City Council meeting as scheduled.
FISCAL REVIEW:
No Fiscal Impact.
LEGAL REVIEW:

2
Should the City Council cancel or change the November 6, 2012 regularly scheduled
meeting, staff will ensure that the required posting and noticing requirements are met.
