Elizabeth, HRC member, moved on July 15 that the Human Relations Commission shift its regular monthly meeting night from Tuesdays to the third Monday of each month. “I motion to approve us moving our meetings from Tuesdays to the third Mondays of the month,” Elizabeth said; the motion was seconded. The transcript does not record a roll-call tally or a formal vote outcome for that motion.

Commissioners and staff discussed why the change was proposed and potential scheduling conflicts. Christian, a staff member, noted that the commission’s public-notice and recurring-schedule processes would need to be maintained and asked members to be specific about whether the commission would meet on a fixed week (for example, the third Monday) or vary month to month. Commissioners raised that some holidays that fall on Mondays, such as Martin Luther King Jr. Day, have in the past required schedule adjustments.

Members said city council meeting nights and individual member conflicts were factors in choosing a new night. One commissioner said city council meeting nights make Thursdays problematic for some members; another noted a recurring personal conflict on Mondays. Commissioners agreed informally to check calendars and confirm availability for a third-Monday cadence.

The discussion also covered how the change would affect retreat timing and onboarding of new commissioners; staff warned that new appointees could be seated in mid-August, which could create a short turnaround if a retreat were held in late August. Commissioners suggested pushing the retreat later in the year if necessary so new members could attend.

Staff did not record a formal implementation timeline in the transcript. Christian, the staff member who manages the HRC schedule, said he would follow up to confirm availability and public-notice requirements and to reconcile the commission’s recurring calendar with individual members’ schedules.

The meeting proceeded to other agenda items after the motion was seconded; the transcript contains no clear record of a final vote or formal approval of the schedule change.

Less-critical details: commissioners noted the commission operates on a calendar-year schedule (Jan. 1–Dec. 31) for budgeting and that individual monthly adjustments have been used in the past when holidays fall on a regular meeting night.
