Cancellation of Regular Council meeting on Monday, November 2, call for Special
Council meeting for Tuesday, November 3, and direction to staff to amend the
Cupertino Municipal Code regarding Council meetings that fall on Election Tuesdays.
Recommended Action
a. Consider cancelling the Regular Council meeting of Monday, November 2 and call a
Special Council meeting for Tuesday, November 3; and b. Direct staff to amend
Cupertino Municipal Code Section 2.04.010 regarding regular Council meetings that fall
on Election Tuesdays.,
Discussion
Cupertino Municipal Code 2.04.010 states that "City Council meetings that fall on any
Election Tuesday shall automatically be moved to the first Monday of the month."
Therefore, the first Regular Council meeting in November is Monday, November 2. The
City of Cupertino holds its General Municipal Elections in even-numbered years and
consequently does not have an election on Tuesday, November 3 as 2015 is an odd-
numbered year. The only jurisdictions that are holding an election on November 3 are
the City of Los Altos, Orchard School District, and the Union School District.
Since Cupertino has no election this year, Council may wish to cancel the Regular
meeting on November 2 and call a Special meeting on Tuesday, November 3 which is
the usual day for City Council to meet. Council may also wish to amend the Cupertino
Municipal Code to state that City Council meetings that fall on Election Tuesday in
even-numbered years shall automatically be moved to the first Monday of the month.
If this is Council's direction, one note to make is that the Election Day in 2016 is
November 8, therefore, the first Monday of the month would be November 7 and the
next Regular Council meeting would be the following week on November 15.
