This practice was directed to be evaluated by the Council in June 1996. DISCUSSION: Since this action, the City Attorney has been requested to attend a second regular meeting of the month only once (on April 17). She was also requested to attend four (4) special or adjourned meetings. These were required to address the Bollinger project and day laborer issue. In my opinion, this action has worked to save money without causing delay on matters considered by the Council. To further enhance this practice, staff is working on a procedure that would allow most if not all land use and zoning related public hearings to be scheduled for the first regular meeting of each month when the City Attorney will be in attendance. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Continue the practice of having the City Attorney scheduled to attend only the first regular meeting of each month for the 1996/97 Fiscal Year. SK:db c: \ccagenda \ctyatty2
