RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution setting the regular meetings of the City Council for the calendar year 2025.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Charter Section 608 authorizes the Council to determine the regular meeting dates of the City Council by ordinance or resolution and adjourn any regular meeting to a date certain.
Culver City Municipal Code (CCMC) Section 3.01.100 states that “all official, regular and adjourned meetings of the City Council shall be held in the City Hall on the second and fourth Mondays of each month at 7:00 p.m., unless otherwise specified by resolution of the City Council.” The CCMC goes on to state that “If any regular meeting shall fall on a legal holiday, no meeting shall be held on such holiday, but shall be held on the next succeeding day thereafter that is not a holiday at 7:00 p.m.”
Staff recommends City Council consider that meeting dates following a Monday holiday also be considered a regular meeting date. Staff also recommends Council consider including potential work plan and budget study sessions as regular meeting dates so that they can be planned in advance.
The Mike Balkman Council Chambers will be closed from December 10, 2024 through January 31, 2025 for Audio/Visual renovations. During this timeframe, the city council meetings will take place at the Senior Center in their largest meeting space: the combined Rooms B45, B47, and Dining Room. The expectation is that the council meeting of February 10, 2025 will be held in the Council Chambers but, to ensure that installation, testing, and training is complete, staff has reserved the Senior Center as backup for that meeting as well.
Exhibit A of the Proposed Resolution outlines the dates for City Council to consider as the Regular City Council meeting dates for 2025. These dates are presented to City Council for approval and, as discussed, may be amended upon majority consensus of the City Council. Once the meeting dates are established by adoption of the proposed Resolution, they may only be changed by adoption of a subsequent resolution at a regular meeting of the City Council.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
There is no fiscal impact from the adoption of the resolution setting the regular meetings of the City Council for calendar year 2025.
