Council discusses moving meetings to Tuesdays but retains Mondays for staff preference; calendar dates provisionally set
Summary
Council reviewed a draft 2025 meeting calendar and debated moving meetings from Mondays to Tuesdays to ease members' schedules. Staff and the city attorney flagged court and AV scheduling constraints; council agreed to keep Mondays and a 5:00 p.m. start for work sessions while staff will finalize dates.
Staff presented a draft 2025 council calendar based on the council's current schedule of meetings every three weeks on Mondays and asked the council to confirm dates and start times for the coming year.
Council members discussed whether to move regular meetings to Tuesdays; some council members preferred Tuesdays for personal scheduling, but staff indicated a strong operational preference to keep meetings on Mondays because of court schedules and AV transitions. "The strong staff preference is to keep it on Mondays," a staff member said, and several council members agreed to defer to staff operational constraints.
After line-by-line discussion of the monthly options, the council settled on a Monday schedule with identified dates and asked staff to finalize and circulate the adopted calendar. A 5:00 p.m. start time for work sessions was proposed and no formal vote was recorded in the work session; staff will prepare the final calendar and confirm any necessary adjustments for court and board meeting schedules.
