Tumwater council sets August recess for first two weeks of month
Summary
Council members agreed Jan. 14 to take their 2025 summer recess on the first two weeks of August (Aug. 5 and Aug. 12) following a staff scheduling briefing and council preference polling.
The Tumwater City Council on Jan. 14 agreed by council-member preference to take the 2025 summer recess during the first two weeks of August (no meetings on Aug. 5 and Aug. 12).
City Administrator (staff member) presented calendar options and noted council rules allow a two-week August recess but do not fix the specific weeks. Staff described scheduling tradeoffs: taking the first two weeks of August results in a five-week gap between some business meetings this summer; taking the later two weeks would produce a different gap.
Council members voiced preferences and a majority favored the first two weeks of August. Council member Kathy said she preferred the option presented first; Council member Dahlhoff also favored the first two weeks. The administrator said staff will finalize and may place the schedule on a consent agenda for formal adoption.
No formal vote was recorded at the work session; staff said the schedule will be finalized and returned for any required formal action.
