DISCUSSION
Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 2.04.020 establishes that regular City Council meetings are held on the first through fourth Tuesdays of each month. The section also provides that meetings may be canceled as necessary. Lastly, this section p rovides that “[i]t shall be the general policy of the City Council to cancel any meetings in the…first week of July…” and “these meetings may be reinstituted if necessary by a majority of the Council.”
July 7, 2026 falls on the first Tuesday of the month a nd would otherwise be considered a regular meeting ; however, based upon the subsequent language in the Municipal Code, this meeting would be canceled unless reinstituted by a majority vote the Council . While the Council may cancel a meeting, certain proced ural requirements under state law , such as election certification, and local practice are tied specifically to “regular” meetings.
To avoid unintended procedural consequences, it is recommended to formally designate this date as a non- regular meeting day. This action provides clarity for the administration of agenda timing and related requirements.
