Memorandum 17-123 Recheduling October 23rd City Council Meeting

Memorandum 17-123

TO:                        Mayor Zak and Homer City Council

FROM:                 Katie Koester, City Manager

DATE:                   September 19, 2017

SUBJECT:          Rescheduling the October 23rd City Council Meeting to October 30th

The City Council regular meeting schedule for the remainder of the year is:

Monday, October 9

Monday, October 23

Monday, November 27

Monday, December 18

October 9th I will present the City Manager’s Proposed Budget to Council and discussion on the budget is scheduled for the October 23rd Committee of the Whole.

I will be absent at the October 23rd meeting because I am attending the International City Manager Association Conference and request the Council consider rescheduling the October 23rd regular meeting to October 30th.  This will allow me the opportunity to be available to answer questions and provide feedback on the Draft Budget during the first meeting for the newly elected councilmembers and provide an important check in with Council before November meeting. If this request conflicts with the schedule of any member, rest assured Acting City Manager Abboud is prepared to fill in during my absence.

RECOMMENDATION:  If no existing scheduling conflict for councilmembers, approve rescheduling the October 23rd City Council meetings to October 30th
