RESOLUTION NO. 32
SERIES OF 2023
A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATES IN
DECEMBER 2023 AND JANUARY 2024
WHEREAS, Englewood Charter § 27 requires City Council to meet at least twice per
month; and
WHEREAS, Englewood City Council generally holds two regular meetings per month for
the transaction of business, and two study sessions per month for presentations and study of various
issues affecting the City; and
WHEREAS, during the December holiday season, because schools are not in session and
holidays regularly include travel, City staff and elected officials often have conflicts between City
and familial obligations, resulting in meeting absences; and
WHEREAS, two City-recognized holidays—December 25 and January 1—fall on
Mondays that would otherwise have a scheduled study session and a scheduled regular meeting;
and
WHEREAS, to respond to these concerns, various other cities reduce the number of
meetings during the holiday season; and
WHEREAS, the City of Englewood did so in 2022, by eliminating study sessions; and
WHEREAS, while eliminating study sessions increased the City Council workload in
surrounding months, it also reduced schedule conflicts and absences.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO, AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Cancellation of December 25 study session; Rescheduling of January 1
regular meeting.
City Council hereby cancels its study session scheduled for December 25, 2023, and its regular
meeting scheduled for January 1, 2024. City Council shall instead hold a regular meeting starting
at 6 p.m. for study session items and 7 p.m. for action items on Monday, January 8, 2024, at
Englewood Civic Center City Council Chambers and through electronic format. Except as
specifically modified herein, City Council will follow its regularly-established meeting schedule
the remainder of December 2023 and January 2024 as follows: regular meetings with study
sessions at 6 p.m. and action items starting at 7 p.m. on December 4 and December 18, 2023, and
Tuesday, January 16 (rescheduled from Monday, due to Martin Luther King Day); and study
sessions on December 11, 2023 and January 22, 2024 starting at 6 p.m.
Section 2. Grant of Authority to Implement Resolution.
The Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem (in the Mayor’s absence), and/or City staff are hereby granted
