 Title:              Establishing days, times and places of Regular Meetings of the
                     Charlottesville City Council during Calendar Year 2023 (1 reading)


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 Council may choose to make adjustments.

Discussion
Regularly scheduled City Council meetings take place on the first and third Mondays of each month
in Council Chamber at City Hall, 605 E. Main Street. If a regularly scheduled Council meeting falls on
a holiday, then the meeting will take place on Tuesday. Meetings generally begin at 4:00 p.m. with a
work session for hearing reports and presentations, followed by a closed session (if needed), and a
6:30 p.m. business meeting. Council has previously chosen to take a summer break and has
discussed holding only one meeting in months with major holidays such as November and
December. At least one councilor has expressed a desire to modify the April 2023 schedule. The
regular Council meeting schedule for 2023 is below and may be modified after Council discussion:
