City Clerk Bessie Jo Wagner presented Resolution 26‑10, which lays out several scenarios for the McCall City Council’s 2026 meeting calendar to avoid conflicts with holidays, spring break and the AIC conference.

Wagner said moving regular meetings to the first and third Wednesdays would avoid schedule interruptions, but she also provided several alternate scenarios and pros and cons for council consideration. Several council members voiced concern about changing long-standing Thursday evening meetings too abruptly and noted that many residents have become accustomed to the second/fourth‑Thursday schedule.

Council discussion focused on staff preferences and member scheduling conflicts amid a pilot 4‑day work week. Multiple members said staff generally preferred Wednesdays but that the public may expect Thursday evenings. Meredith (staff) said she needs a council date to meet a public‑notice deadline tied to a January ordinance and planning and zoning commission schedule.

After discussion the council signaled support for Scenario 2 with a single edit — adding a first‑Thursday 9 a.m. work session — and directed staff to prepare an updated resolution reflecting that change (including traditional holiday and AIC/spring‑break adjustments) and return next week for formal adoption. No final vote on Resolution 26‑10 was recorded at this meeting.

The clerk said she could bring the updated resolution back at the next meeting for adoption and that the council may monitor the calendar at the end of the pilot work‑week period and reevaluate if needed.
