Adoption of the City Council’s 2013 Meeting Calendar
Ordinance No. 2719 is before Council on second reading and will adopt the proposed City Council 2013 Meeting Schedule. The proposed calendar follows the standard first and third Thursday of each month with  the exception of July and August. The request to alter the July schedule to the second and fourth Thursday is due to the 4th of July holiday and our annual community celebration of Heritage Days. The recommendation  to alter August to the second and fourth Thursday will allow us to continue with the every other week pattern due to the fact August has five Thursdays.
