Re: May Council Meeting
Background:
The Forest Lake School District has scheduled a special election for May 20, 2014. This was to be the
date of our regular Council meeting. Pursuant to state statute, we cannot meet while the polls are open.
Issue:
What day or time would the Council like to reschedule for the May regular Council meeting?
Discussion:
The polls close at Bpm on Tuesday, May 20th for the special election. Therefore, the Council could simply
push back the time of the meeting to begin at Bpm. At this point in time, possible agenda items may
include the audit presentation, awarding of bids for public works projects (seal coating, dust control,
gravel, patching, crack filling), and any applications that may come out of the Planning Commission.
However, we could try and move the first two items to either April or June and have a shorter agenda in
May.
Alternatively, the Council may choose to move the May meeting to another day. Possibilities would
include Wednesday, May 14ffi or Monday, May 19th
Fiscal Impact:
NA
Options:
1) Keep May 20'h meeting date but don't start meeting until 8:OOpm
2) Select another date and/or time for the meeting
