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.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
None.
