Resolution No. 2019-67 -Setting Meeting Calendar
Pursuant to KMC 1.1 0.040(b ), this Resolution is intended to establish a calendar for the regular
meetings of the City Council in 2020.
Pursuant to City Charter, a meeting may be cancelled by the Mayor due to a lack of a quorum,
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 meetings eac!l year.
Consistent with previous calendars, this Resolution proposes scheduling regular meetings every
first and third Wednesday of each month, except for the months of January and November, when
only one meeting would be held. The first meeting in January recognizes the New Year Holiday
and that many Council Members, staff, and residents may be travelling or on leave . The second
meeting in November coincides with the AML conferences in Anchorage, which are attended by
many Council Members and administrative personnel. This meeting schedule maintains more
than the minimum twenty (20) regular meetings required each year by City Charter.
In previous years, the second regular meeting of the City Council in July had been cancelled to
allow for Council, administration and residents to participate in the personal use fishery and other
season a l activities; however, in 2020, there are five Wednesdays and not having a Council
meeting for five weeks so soon after the new budget has become effective would put a hardship
on the Administration so a second meeting in July has been included in the proposed calendar.
The calendar attached to this memo is included for your reference and is not an exhibit to the
Resolution.
Your consideration is appreciated.
