1. Amendments to the San Leandro Municipal Code
City of San Leandro Charter Section 315 provides that the Council shall hold regular meetings at least twice each month at such times as it shall fix by ordinance or resolution. San Leandro Municipal Code §1-1-200 currently provides that regular meetings of the Council shall be held on the first and third Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m. If any such day is a City holiday, the meeting shall be held on the next business day at 6:30 p.m.
In order to promote robust discussion, thoughtfulness, and respect for community members’ and allow consideration for City Council schedules, staff proposes to amend Municipal Code §1-1-200 to change the start time for regular City Council meetings from 6:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. This and other changes described below, are intended to provide enough time for the City Council to complete all of its business and to allow for robust public comment and City Council deliberation.
