EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On April 5, 2016, Mayor Nabours brought forward a F.A.I.R. item to discuss the possible change of dates for the Council's Summer Break, to coincide with time when school is out for those Councilmembers and staff members with children in school, and a majority of Council voted to bring this item back for consideration. Not having fully discussed the item yet, staff prepared this item to allow for either a temporary change for just 2016, or a permanent change for 2016 and into the future. Attached is a calendar showing that either time period would have the same number of days (41), as well as proposed changes to the Rules of Procedure should Council wish to make this a permanent change.
