DATE: November 2, 1999
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL STAFF:
Steve Roy
SUBJECT:
First Reading of Ordinance No. 161, 1999, Amending Section 2-28 of the City Code Pertaining to
Regular Meetings of the City Council.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The purpose of this proposed Code change is to clearly state the City Council's ability to cancel a
regularly scheduled Council meeting.
BACKGROUND:
The City Code provides in Section 2-28(a)that regular meetings of the City Council shall be held
on the first and third Tuesdays of each month. Occasionally, because of holiday seasons or other
scheduling conflicts, it is desirable and necessary for the Council to cancel a previously scheduled
regular meeting. The proposed amendment is being recommended because the City Code does not,
at present, explicitly authorize such cancellations.
