RESOLUTION NO. 1
SERIES OF 2026
A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING 2026 CITY COUNCIL HOLIDAY
MEETING SCHEDULE
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, Englewood Municipal Code § 1-5-2-1 provides that when City Council
designates a City holiday on a Monday, City Council shall meet on the following Tuesday; and
WHEREAS, during the summer holiday months and during December, 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, to respond to these concerns, various other cities reduce the number of
meetings during these months; and
WHEREAS, the City of Englewood did so in prior years, 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.

OF ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO, AS FOLLOWS:
