1.04.040 Cancellation of regularly scheduled meetings.
In the event that a quorum of the Council will not be available for a
meeting, insufficient business exists to justify a regularly
scheduled meeting, an emergency such as inclement weather, or
other cause makes meeting attendance inappropriate or
unreasonable, or other reasonable causes determined by the
Council President, the Council President may cancel a meeting.
Upon cancellation, the City Clerk shall post the notice of
cancellation in accordance with Section 1.04.015, provide notice of
cancellation on the City's web site and provide individual notice of
cancellation to City Council Members. If a public hearing was
scheduled on that date, reasonable efforts shall be made by staff to
contact interested parties, applicants or appellants, given the
amount of time available before the established meeting time and
date.
Section 2. Effective Date. This ordinance, being an exercise of a power specifi-
cally delegated to the City legislative body, is not subject to referendum, and shall take effect
five (5) days after passage and publication of an approved summary thereof consisting of the
