Council previews 2026 meeting calendar; HB1522 changes public‑notice timing
Summary
City secretary Amy Eimer presented a proposed 2026 Richardson City Council meeting calendar (40 scheduled meetings) and explained House Bill 1522 requires three business days for public notice, affecting how Monday meetings are posted; staff will return the calendar for adoption on Dec. 15.
Richardson — The Richardson City Council reviewed a proposed meeting calendar for 2026 and scheduling guidelines during Monday’s session.
City Secretary Amy Eimer presented the proposed schedule and explained guiding principles: regular meetings on Mondays at 6 p.m. with exceptions for fifth Mondays, city holidays and school spring breaks. Eimer told the council that House Bill 1522, effective Sept. 1, 2025, changes the public‑notice calculation to require three business days, which means notices for Monday meetings must be posted the preceding Tuesday.
The proposed calendar includes 40 scheduled meetings and notes key dates such as the budget workshop in August, the budget presentation and adoption timeline, and the community revitalization awards on Feb. 9. Staff said they would bring the calendar back for formal adoption on Dec. 15 and publish dates for boards, commissions and the public after adoption.
No council changes were requested during the presentation.
Quotes in this article are taken from the meeting transcript: Amy Eimer said the new law "requires 3 business days for public notice." The calendar will return for adoption at a December meeting.
