In 2022 and 2023 for the months of January, February and March, Council conducted a regular <br />meeting on the second Monday of the month and a work session on the third Monday of the <br />month, cancelling the second regular meeting of said months. <br />In October of 2023, Council "piloted" a new meeting cadence in which the work sessions were <br />held prior to the two regular meetings of the month, eliminating the traditional third Monday <br />work session. It can be noted that an advantage of this was that traditionally, work sessions were <br />not televised by NineNorth, and so with the advent of televising work sessions as a regular <br />practice, having the work session prior to the regular meetings paired well with the fact that <br />NineNorth was already in attendance to televise the regular meeting that same evening. <br />This cadence was followed for the remainder of the meetings in 2023 and on December 11, 2023 <br />the City Council unanimously adopted Ordinance 2023-016 amending Chapter 2 of City Code <br />for which work sessions would be held prior to the two regular meetings and eliminating the <br />standalone third Monday work session. <br />From a staffing workload perspective, Staff can confirm that the shift to one meeting per month <br />in January, February and March has had no negative impacts on their workload related to <br />planning cases and engineering project needs, nor have there been any difficulties or complaints <br />related to accommodating requests for action from the public, developers or other stakeholders. <br />Work and any related deadlines have continued to be achieved in a timely manner. Based on <br />this, Staff recommends continuing with cancellation of the second meetings in January, February <br />and March and extends their appreciation for Council's consideration. <br />Budget Impact <br />N/A <br />Attachments <br />N/A <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
