Body
SUMMARY:
Per City Council Rule 1, Scheduling Council Meetings/Work Session Agendas, city council meetings are at 6:00 p.m. on the first and third Thursday of each month. The accompanying work sessions are at 1:30 p.m. on the preceding Monday, unless the Monday is a holiday, in which case the work session is on Tuesday. No meetings are held the first Thursday in January and July, or the third Thursday in December.
Staff has identified the following conflicts:
1. To accommodate the observance of the following holidays, staff recommends scheduling a council meeting only that week (no consent agenda):
a. Presidents Day - Monday, February 17, 2025.
Council Meeting: Thursday, February 20, 2025
b. Juneteenth - Thursday, June 19, 2025.
Council Meeting: June 18, 2025.
c. Labor Day - Monday, September 1, 2025
Council Meeting - Thursday, September 4, 2025
d. Yom Kippur - Wednesday, October 1, 2025 through Thursday, October 2, 2025.
Council Meeting: Monday, September 29, 2025
2. To accommodate Jazz Holiday (October 16-19, 2025), staff recommends moving the Thursday, October 16 council meeting to Wednesday, October 15.
In addition, staff is proposing a special work session on Thursday, January 30, 2025, from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, for the annual strategic planning session.
