PISMO BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item #9.F
Meeting Date: December 2, 2025
TITLE:
2026 City Council Regular Meeting Schedule
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution establishing the 2026 City Council Regular Meeting schedule.
DISCUSSION:
Pismo Beach Municipal Code Section 2.04.080 provides that the City Council shall hold meetings as established by Council resolution. City Council Resolution R-2009-014 establishes that the Council shall hold its regular meetings on the first and third Tuesday of every month. The Council may enact further resolutions amending its meeting schedule, and staff typically presents an item to the Council at the end of each calendar year to set the regular meeting schedule for the following year, including any projected cancellations.
For calendar year 2026, staff recommends the cancellation of the meetings of January 6, 2026, July 21, 2026, and November 3, 2026. Staff recommends the cancellation of the January 6, 2026 meeting due to its production and preparation period conflicting with the Christmas and New Year holidays. Staff recommends the cancellation of the July 21, 2026 meeting, in keeping with the recent precedent of at least one summer meeting being cancelled to allow staff and the Council to take vacation and to focus on other work.
Finally, staff recommends the cancellation of the November 3, 2026 meeting in that it falls on the date of the 2026 General Election, at which time elective Pismo Beach offices will be on the ballot.
Conclusion and Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Council adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) setting the Council's 2026 regular meeting schedule, and cancelling the meeting dates of January 6, 2026, July 21, 2026, and November 3, 2026. The Council may act now, or at a future juncture, to cancel additional meeting dates as it deems fit. Further, special meetings and closed sessions will continue to be scheduled as needed.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is a cost savings associated with cancellation of meetings, but there is no budget impact associated with staff’s recommendation.
