MINUTE ORDER <br /> CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> <br /> August 25, 1997 <br /> MO. 97-173 <br /> <br />CITY CLERK DEPARTMENT <br />Redwood City <br /> <br />DATE: August 28, 1997 <br /> <br />Attention: City Manager <br /> City Attorney <br /> Council <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Most Advantageous Day to Conduct Council Meetings (205) <br />Meeting of the Council of the City of Redwood City on August 25, 1997. <br /> <br />Present: Councilmembers Buchan, Claire, Howard, La Berge, Leipzig <br /> and Mayor Hartnett <br /> <br />Absent: Ruskin <br /> <br />The following motion was made, carried and entered on the Minutes: <br /> <br /> Councilman Leipzig expressed support to conduct Council meetings on a day <br /> other than Monday. Referring to a possible conflict with meetings of Council <br /> appointed boards, committees and commissions, Councilman Leipzig said if the <br /> Council decided to change days, the Council appointed boards, committees and <br /> commissions could change their meeting days if they wished.. He added that a <br /> Tuesday meeting in the new City Hall Chamber would be a new start and might <br /> increase attendance. He said the conflict with Monday night football possibly <br /> keeps some attendees away from Council meetings. He also suggested <br /> changing the time to 7:00 p.m. <br /> <br /> Councilwoman La Berge said she had lived in Redwood City for 35 years, and <br /> Council meetings had always been on Monday nights. She said it's a tradition, <br /> and it would be difficult for her to make that change, and probably for many <br /> others in the community as well. Councilwoman La Berge said changing days <br /> might cause a conflict with other meetings, and traditions are very important to <br /> a community. She said she did not see a terribly important reason to make such <br /> a change. <br /> <br /> <br />
