Council sets 2026 meeting schedule, adds Jan. 2 holiday and defers planning commission appointments to January
Summary
Council approved its 2026 meeting calendar and holiday schedule, adding Jan. 2, 2026 as a city holiday; nominations to fill two Planning Commission vacancies were deferred to January when Councilman‑elect Charles Morgan will have been sworn in and vacated his commission seat.
The council reviewed the proposed 2026 meeting schedule and holiday calendar and approved the dates, including Tuesday meeting dates for each month and the listed holidays. Councilmember Daby Snipes proposed adding January 2, 2026 as a city holiday in recognition of New Year timing; the motion, seconded by Adam Dunn, passed unanimously.
Mayor Brian Ramey and City Administrator Kevin Bronson explained the Planning Commission will have two vacancies in 2026 and reviewed eligibility requirements (residency in the city and not holding another office in Westminster or Oconee County). Mr. Bronson said nominations will return on the January agenda after the incoming councilmember vacancy is official; the transcript refers to Councilman‑elect Charles Morgan vacating his commission seat upon being sworn in.
