 Title:                   City Council Regular Meeting Schedule for 2021


Background:
Local municipalities may approve a regular Council meeting schedule for the calendar year in
order to establish meeting dates for the year. The proposed schedule includes variances according
to holidays and summer break.

Discussion:
Regularly scheduled Council meetings take place on the first and third Mondays of each month at
6:30 p.m. in Council Chambers at City Hall. During the Covid-19 State of Emergency, regular
meetings are held electronically or virtually. If a regularly scheduled Council meeting falls on a
holiday, then the meeting will take place on Tuesday. Council has previously chosen to take a
summer break, and at its November 16, 2020, regular meeting, Council discussed canceling the
January 4, 2021 meeting.
