First meeting of the year, in an even year – always a fun Council meeting.
There are no initial study sessions or closed sessions, so we get right into it. The order of events in this meeting is a little different than usual, due to some unusual circumstances. The existing council will still be seated at the beginning of the meeting, and the new council gets swapped in at a midpoint, which makes things complicated. First up is approval of the minutes of our last meeting, which is scheduled at this point since it applies to the existing council, rather than the new one. Second up is certification of the November 2011 election results, recognizing the election of the three new councilmembers and the re-elected incumbent, as well as acknowledgement of the results for Measures A and B. But we don’t seat anyone just yet. We also hold our one closed session after the meeting, rather than before, so that the new Council can participate instead of the old one.
