Title

CONSIDER THE CITY COUNCIL, SUCCESSOR AGENCY AND HOUSING AUTHORITY NOVEMBER 15, 2016 MEETING SCHEDULE

 

Body

I.                     SUMMARY

This item is presented to the City Council to consider changing the meeting schedule for the November 15, 2016, City Council meeting due to the grand opening of the Porsche Experience Center located in Carson.

This Porsche Experience Center is one of only four others in the world. It is a 53-acre facility and road handling course. The other Centers are in Atlanta; Silverstone, England; and Leipzig, Germany. Another is being built near Beijing for the Chinese market. The Carson Center in Carson is the largest of all the Centers all over the world.

At the Porsche Experience Center the learning is hands-on and fast-paced. Visitors can select a program of their choice and spend 90 minutes behind the wheel of a Porsche with a highly-trained Porsche driving coach. The center is also designed to supplement the dealership experience, particularly in Los Angeles, where performance test-driving situations are difficult. Dealers are expected to send customers to the center for test drives.

II.                     RECOMMENDATION

Recommendation

CONSIDER the meeting schedule for the month of November and PROVIDE direction.

IV.                     BACKGROUND

Section 2403(A) of the Carson Municipal Code provides, in part, that regular meetings of the City Council shall be held on the first and third Tuesdays of each month at the hour of 5:00 p.m.  If any such day is on a holiday, then the meeting shall be held on the next succeeding day which is not a holiday. If any such day is a Statewide election day or a regular or special municipal election day, then the meeting shall be held on the next succeeding day or on any such other day as determined by the City Council (Exhibit No. 1).

It has been the accepted policy of the Mayor and City Council to reschedule meetings to another date to accommodate their absences due to their official attendance at conferences and seminars. In addition to this policy, the Mayor and City Council have rescheduled meetings because of other special occasions and needs. The past practice of the Mayor and City Council has been to move the regular meetings to the following Wednesdays, in most instances.
