If any scheduled meeting falls on a <br />City holiday, the meeting shall be held on the next business day at 7:00 p.m. Work Sessions of <br />the City Council are held regularly at 7:00 p.m. on the second Monday of each month, with an <br />additional Work Session scheduled on the 4th Monday, if needed, in City Council Chambers. <br />Work Sessions may be held at locations throughout the City at the direction of the City Council. <br />At Work Sessions, City staff provides reports to the City Council on a variety of items and issues; <br />however, no formal action is taken at a Work Session. Starting times for each item are <br />approximate. (SLMC 1-1-200; SLAC 1.1.105) <br /> <br />SPECIAL MEETINGS <br />A special meeting may be called at any time by the Presiding Officer of the Council, or by a <br />majority of the members. Written notice of the special meeting must be sent to each member of <br />the legislative body and to each local newspaper of general circulation that has requested <br />meeting notices. Notices for special meetings must be delivered by any means that ensures <br />receipt at least 24 hours before the meeting time. The notice must state the time and place of <br />the meeting, as well as the business to be transacted or discussed. The body must not consider <br />business, not in the written notice. <br />CLOSED SESSIONS <br />Typically, closed sessions are called to discuss (1) real property <br />negotiations, (2) existing or anticipated litigation, (3) liability claims, (4) <br />labor negotiations, or public employee appointments, (5) evaluations and <br />discipline. <br />Closed sessions may involve only members of the legislative body and <br />agency counsel, management and support staff and consultants necessary <br />for consideration of the matter that is the subject of closed session. <br />Individuals who do not have an official role in advising the legislative body <br />on closed session subject matters must be excluded from closed session <br />discussions. <br />Closed session items must be briefly described on the posted agenda, and the description must <br />state the specific statutory exemption. <br />By law, no member of the Council, an employee of the City, or any other person required to be <br />present during a closed session shall disclose to any person the content or substance of any <br />discussion which took place during the closed session unless disclosure is authorized by a <br />majority vote of the Council. <br />45
