WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of the City for the Council to provide as much advance
notification as possible to the public and administration of their meeting schedule; and,
WHEREAS, timely adopting a calendar of meeting dates, including any cancelled meetings,

WHEREAS, cancelling one Council Meeting in July and November, complies with the minimum

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
FROM: Jamie Heinz, City Clerk
DATE: October 27, 2020
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2020-85 — Setting Council Meeting Calendar
Pursuant to KMC 1.10.040(b), this Resolution is intended to establish a calendar for the regular
meetings of the City Council in 2021.
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 each year.
After reviewing previous calendars, this resolution proposes scheduling regular meetings every
first and third Wednesday of each month, except for the months of July and November, when a
second meeting of each month would be cancelled. The second meeting of July coincides with
the peak season of 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 personnel.
The calendar attached to this memo is included for your reference and is not an exhibit to the
Resolution.
Your consideration is appreciated.
