RESOLUTION NO. 20-50
A RESOLUTION APPROVING A MODIFIED SCHEDULE OF REGULAR
MEETINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND PLANNING COMMISSION
WHEREAS, in response to the spread of the COVID-19 virus and in conjunction
with the Federal and State proclamation of emergencies, the City Manager proclaimed a
local emergency on Monday, March 16, 2020; and
WHEREAS, on April 7, 2020, in anticipation of a need for more frequent actions to
be taken by the City Council in connection with the local emergency, the City Council
adopted Resolution 20-22 modifying the schedule or Regular Meetings of the City Council
and Planning Commission. Resolution 20-22 established a schedule of weekly meetings
of the City Council, and once -monthly meetings of the Planning Commission.
WHEREAS, in light of Federal, State and County Health orders to avoid gatherings
and to maintain social distancing, the City Council finds that all reasonable steps should
be taken to encourage the City Council, City staff and the public to participate in the
Council and Planning Commission meetings electronically rather than in person; and
WHEREAS, the anticipated need for weekly meetings of the City Council appears
to have subsided such that twice -monthly regular meetings of the City Council appear
adequate at this time.
WHEREAS, the City Council desires for the Planning Commission to consider
projects and other Planning Commission matters at regular meetings more frequently
than once per month when needed, for the convenience of the public, project applicants,
and the City. As a result, twice -monthly meetings of the Planning Commission will resume
when needed, and when a meeting proves unnecessary, such meeting can be cancelled.
