File Attachment:
Proposed 2018-19 Board Calendar.pdf
Background: Attached for the Board’s review is the proposed calendar of the meetings of the Board and its Committees for the 2018-19 Board year.

Wisconsin Statutes Section119.10(3), which governs the scheduling of regular monthly Board meetings, states in part, "The board shall hold a regular meeting at least once each month at times fixed and published by the board in its rules..." In light of this, the City Attorney's Office has advised the Office of Board Governance that the public has the right to expect that the Board will adhere to its rules as they apply to the scheduling of its regular monthly Board meetings.

The attached calendar has been prepared in accordance with:
- Board Rule 1.02, which sets the days and times of the Board’s regular monthly meetings; and
- Board Rule 2.02, which sets the frequency and times of the Board’s Committee meetings.

In regard to the calendar for April 2019, the Board would need to suspend Board Rules 1.01 and 1.02 in order to hold the Regular Monthly Meeting on April 25, 2019 and the Annual Organizational Meeting on April 30, 2019. The suspension is required due to the timing of this year’s MPS Spring Recess.
Fiscal Impact Statement: No fiscal impact.
Implementation and Assessment Plan Upon adoption of the tentative 2018-19 Board calendar by the Board, the Office of Board Governance will publish the calendar and set up the meetings for the approved dates and times.
Recommendation: That the Board determine how it wishes to proceed with the tentative 2018-19 Board calendar.
