GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE
FROM: Sarah Zárate
SUBJECT: See Below DATE: June 3, 2025
Approved Date:
6/3/25
SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2025 – 2026 City Council Meeting and Study Session/Special Meeting Schedules
RECOMMENDATION
(a) Approve the City Council Meeting Schedule for the period August 2025 – June 2026. (b) Approve the Study Session/Special Meeting Schedule for the period August 2025 – June 2026.
ANALYSIS
The Mayor and the City Manager are responsible for developing the City Council Meeting Schedule. To facilitate more efficient planning of longer-range agenda content, the Administration recommends the continuance of the established practice of approval of a meeting schedule for the entire fiscal year and the cancellation of City Council meetings when there is a holiday that falls on a Monday or the meeting is within a holiday or City Council break period. The proposed schedule (Attachment A) contains the cancellation of 13 meetings: August 5, September 2, October 14, November 11, November 25, December 23, December 30, January 6, January 20, February 17, March 31, May 26, and June 30.
Additionally, a tentative schedule of Study Session/Special Meeting dates for August 2025 – June 2026 (Attachment B) has been developed to facilitate calendaring for the Mayor and City Councilmembers. As topics are set for the dates in the attachment, staff will bring these forward to the Rules and Open Government Committee for approval.
