Lakeshore Drive Jean Grafton e� Ocoee, Florida 34761-2258 City Clerk rf*Of Goo� (407) 656-2322 FAX (407) 656-5725 To: The Honorable Mayor and City Commission From: Jean Grafton, City Clerk 13 Date: July 29, 1996 Re: SETTING A DATE FOR THE FIRST MEETING IN OCTOBER ISSUE Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commission set the first meeting in October on October 2, 1996? BACKGROUND The City Charter provides that the City Commission will meet at such times as may be prescribed by ordinance or resolution and the City Code provides that the City Commission will meet on the first and third Tuesday of each month and such other meetings as may be called for by resolution. The West Oaks Mall Grand Opening Gala has been announced for Tuesday, October 1, presenting a scheduling conflict for the entire Commission unless Commission chooses to reschedule the first regular meeting in October to October 2. In the past, meetings have been rescheduled to avoid bringing citizens out in inclement weather(hurricanes) and when the regular meeting night falls on a national holiday (Independence Day and Labor Day). DISCUSSION There are as yet no public hearings advertised for the October 1 meeting and with this much advance notice it would be possible to calendar any such public hearings as may be needed for October 2 instead. Although Commission meetings have not been rescheduled in the past to accommodate other functions, it may be argued that this is an occasion of sufficient magnitude to warrant such action. RECOMMENDATION It is respectfully recommended that the Honorable Mayor and City Commission adopt Resolution No. 96-21, cancelling the regular meeting scheduled for Tuesday, October 1 and calling a regular meeting for Wednesday, October 2, 1996.
