MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
FROM: Shellie Saner, City Clerk
DATE: October 13, 2023
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2023-62 — Setting the 2024 Council Meeting Calendar
This Resolution is intended to establish a calendar for the regular meetings of the City Council in
2024, in accordance with KMC 1.10.040(b).
City Charter, allows that 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
regular meetings are held each year and at least one each month. The 2024 proposed meeting
schedule includes at least one regular meeting each month and more than the minimum
requirement of twenty regular meetings each year.
The proposes meeting scheduling sets meetings every first and third Wednesday of each month,
except for the month of July, when the second meeting would be canceled. 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 or the first meeting in December may be cancelled as it could
coincide with the Alaska Municipal League conferences in Anchorage.
Your consideration is appreciated.
