Approve Amending Council Meeting Schedule

Beginning in August, there are few Tuesday meeting dates that Council will have to either cancel or reschedule.  Those meeting dates are listed below, followed by reason for cancellation or rescheduling, followed by the suggested amendments, based upon past practice.

1)  Tuesday, August 6, 2012 (Work Session)  - National Night to Unite!  -  Cancel/Council will be asked to participate in the "festivities" of the evening

2)  Tuesday, August 14, 2012  (Work Session/Regular/HRA) - Primary Election - No City meetings are allowed to be held during the times the polling locations are open - Reschedule to Monday, August 13, 2012 

3)  Tuesday, August 21, 2012 (Public Works)  - Ramsey Business Appreciation Golf Event - Cancel

Tuesday, November 6, 2012 (Work Session) - General Election - again no City meetings allowed during the time the polling locations are open - Cancel

Tuesday, December 25, 2012  (Work Session/Regular/HRA) - Christmas - Cancel

Tuesday, January 1, 2013  (Work Session) - New Year's Day - Cancel

Canvassing Board meetings will have to be scheduled following each Election.  Those dates have not yet been finalized.  Staff will try to schedule them on a regular meeting night, if possible.

The schedule is of course open for discussion.

Any meeting changes will be noticed with the Official Posting of the Meeting Schedule on the Posting Board in the lobby of the Municipal Center, as well as on the City's website.
