The Glendale City Council took three formal actions during the Jan. 13, 2026 meeting.

First, the council moved and approved the consent calendar by a single motion; roll-call votes were recorded as 'Yes' from councilmembers present.

Second, the council considered and approved a package of election-related resolutions presented by the city clerk. The package included: (1) a resolution calling and giving notice of a general municipal election to be held Tuesday, June 2, 2026 for the election of three city council seats, one city clerk and one city treasurer (each for four-year terms); (2) a resolution requesting that the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors direct the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk to provide consolidated election services (except candidate filing); (3) a resolution setting regulations for candidate statements for the June 2, 2026 election; and (4) a resolution appropriating $669,882 to cover election costs. The council moved, seconded and approved the resolutions by roll-call vote.

Third, the council approved a procedural change to consider moving future agenda-planning (the process by which councilmembers request items for future agendas) to an afternoon session so the planning occurs earlier in the day rather than late at night. Councilmembers discussed budgeting for election costs and whether some portion should be placed in recurring budgets, but the immediate appropriation was approved.

Votes (as recorded by the clerk): consent calendar — motion moved and seconded; roll-call recorded unanimous Yes. Election resolutions — motion moved and seconded; roll-call recorded unanimous Yes. Agenda-planning change — motion moved and seconded; roll-call recorded approval.
