MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
FROM:
Council Member Navarre
DATE:
December 1, 2016
SUBJECT:
Resolution No. 2016 -46
This resolution is intended to establish a calendar for the regular meetings of the City
Council in 2017. Pursuant to City Charter, a meeting may be cancelled by the Mayor
due to a lack of a quorum, or for an emergency, or by a majority of council members for
any reason as long as at least twenty (20) regular meetings are held each year and at
least one each month. The proposed resolution maintains at least one regular meeting
each month and more than the minimum twenty (20) regular meeting each year.
This resolution proposes scheduling regular meeting every first and third Wednesday of
each month except for the months of July, November and December, when a second
meeting of each month would be cancelled. The second meeting of July coincides with
the peak season the personal use dipnet fishery which consumes the full attention of
the administration and is a busy time of year for other residents. The second meeting in
November coincides with the AML conferences in Anchorage, which are attended by
many council members and administrative personnerl. The second meeting in December
is very close to the Christmas holiday in 2017 and likely conflicts with many council
member, administrative and resident holiday plans.
Additionally, the second meeting in October in 2017 falls on Alaska Day, which is a City
recognized holiday and as such, City Hall will be closed. This resolution proposed to
reschedule the second meeting in October from Wednesday, the 18 to Thursday the 19.
Your consideration is appreciated.
