Memorandum

To:Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From:Honorable Councilmember Carlos Alvarez
Subject:Additional Councilmember Accessibility
Date:4/9/2019

Recommendation:

I would like to discuss with the Town Council the possibility of additional accessibility regarding meeting with constituents. Currently, Mayor Cid makes his office available twice a month on the first and third Saturday from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. to meet with constituents that are not available during the week.

My proposal is that all Councilmembers serve as an alternate to Mayor Cid one of the two Saturday's each month. It would require all Councilmembers a commitment to work on Saturday's and be accessible to meet with residents and address any concerns and/or provide commendations. The Council can discuss and schedule the months that will work around their schedules.
