INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Tukwila City Council
FROM: Christy O'Flaherty, City Clerk
DATE: December 20, 2012
SUBJECT: A Resolution formally adopting the Council Committee Meeting Schedule
ISSUE
It is in the best interest of the City to adopt a Council resolution establishing the meeting dates,
times, and locations of the 4 standing Council Committees. Resolution #1760 adopted the
Council Committee schedule for 2012. In 2013, there have been changes to the Committee
schedule, necessitating an updated resolution.
BACKGROUND
The Council passed Ordinance #2024 on July 21, 2003 which established Council Meeting
procedures. Section 2.04.180 states there are 4 standing Committees of the Council, consisting
of 3 members each. The ordinance specifies the Council President shall appoint the
membership of each Committee, and the Committee Chair shall set the schedule of meetings.
DISCUSSION
RCW 42.30.030 states "All meetings of the governing body of a public agency shall be open and
public and all persons shall be permitted to attend any meeting of the governing body of a public
agency, except as otherwise provided in this chapter."
To ensure the greatest adherence to the Open Public Meetings Act, it is in the best interest of
the City to formally adopt legislation, by way of a resolution, that establishes the Council
Committee meeting days, times, and locations.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to consider this item at the January 7, 2013 Council Meeting.
