BACKGROUND:
The City holds regular City Council meetings on the first and third Tuesday of each month, and Study Session meetings on the second Tuesday of each month as needed. In accordance with Council direction from the June 7, 2016, meeting, the City Council does not meet on the third Tuesday in August. Additionally, per Resolution 05-8, no meeting is held on the third Tuesday in December.
The City Council has the legal authority to establish meeting dates and times and to cancel and reschedule such meetings with proper and timely public notice. As part of its annual meeting schedule, the City Council evaluates whether to conduct its first regular City Council meeting in January, taking into consideration the holiday closure period.
ANALYSIS:
The holiday closure of City Hall is scheduled from Thursday, December 24, 2026, through Friday, January 1, 2027. Since the January 5, 2027, regular City Council meeting falls immediately following this closure, staff recommend that the January 5, 2027, regular City Council meeting be canceled to accommodate operational impacts associated with the extended holiday period. Canceling the meeting in advance allows sufficient time for proper public notice and placement of business items on future agendas.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council may choose to hold the meeting on January 5, 2027; however, this action is not recommended due to the holiday closure and limited staff resources.
FISCAL REVIEW:
There is no fiscal impact to this agenda item.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed the report and approved as to form.
CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES:
This item is administrative in nature.
CONCLUSION:
Approve the cancellation of the January 5, 2027, City Council Meeting.
