AGENDA ITEM 5B. Approve the Proposed City Council Meeting Calendar for 2026 14

City of Sand City STAFF REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Kerry Lindstrom, City Clerk SUBJECT: Proposed Calendar of City Council Meetings & Events for 2026 DATE: November 4, 2025 ______________________________________________________________________ BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Sand City Municipal Code Chapter 2.04 states that the Council and Successor Agency meet regularly on the first and third Tuesdays of every month but that Council has discretion to adjust this schedule by adjourning some of the meetings. (SCMC section 2.04.010). The attached proposed calendar provides for City Council meetings on the first and third Tuesdays of the month with some exceptions. In keeping with past practice due to holidays and the California League of Cities annual conference, several meetings are proposed to be cancelled as indicated on the calendar. Staff will update the calendar in the event of the cancellation of an additional council meeting, approved by Council. If approved, the calendar will be posted on the City’s website. CEQA: This action does not constitute a "project" as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines section 15378. FISCAL IMPACT: None – while there is a cost savings to the City when a Council meeting is cancelled due to less time spent by outside consultants attending several meetings in a month, the cancellations proposed are in line with the City’s past practice and thus do not reflect a change that has a financial impact. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the proposed calendar of City Council Meetings for 2026. ATTACHMENTS: 1. 2026 Meeting & Events Calendar 15
