INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
2022 City Council Meeting Schedule
BACKGROUND:
The attached 2022 City Council Meeting Schedule has been prepared to provide for the two regular
meetings as mandated by the City Council Rules of Procedure.
DISCUSSION:
Section 2-29(d)(1) of the City Council Rules of Procedure require regular meetings be held the
first and third Tuesdays of each month, barring certain exceptions:
“Regular meetings: The council shall meet on the first and third Tuesday of each month,
at such time as may be set by the city council, unless the meeting is postponed or cancelled
for valid reasons. All regular meetings of the council will be held in City Hall at 215 East
McKinney Street, Denton, Texas or at such other location as the city council may, from
time to time by proper posting under the Open Meetings Act and so long as the meeting
is available to the public, designate. In the event a regular meeting falls on a day the city
observes a paid holiday, or the day after, no regular meeting shall be scheduled.
Furthermore, no regular meetings shall be held the first two weeks in July, nor the last two
weeks of November and December…”
To recognize the diversity of our community and of our City Council, staff also considered major
religious holidays historically observed by both the City and previous City Councils.
As a result of Interim City Manager Sara Hensley’s recommendation to City Council, only regular
meetings will be scheduled per month (barring exceptions) beginning February 2022, with special
called meetings/work sessions and luncheons being scheduled on an as-needed basis. The attached
schedule was reviewed with the Council Agenda Committee on Thursday, December 1, 2021.
There is no formal action required as the meeting calendar complies with the City Council Rules
of Procedure.
CONCLUSION:
Comments and/or suggested revisions should be sent to the City Secretary’s Office by Friday,
December 10, 2021. The public version of the meeting schedule will be placed online at that time.
