Executive Summary:
On February 9, 2026, City Council revised City Council Policy 120.9 - Public Forum to remove Announcements and Recognitions from the second Monday Regular Meeting and instead place them on the first Monday of the month at 6:15 p.m. following the Work Session.

Council has since expressed interest in ensuring that residents receiving Announcements and Recognitions are included in televised meetings. Currently the Announcements and Recognitions are on the first and fourth Monday's.

Background:
City Council Policy 120.9 - Public Forum was revised on February 9, 2026. The revisions included removal of the Announcements and Recognitions for the second Monday of the month and moved it to the first Monday of the month beginning at 6:15 p.m.

There is interest of Council to ensure that residents that are recipients of any announcements and recognitions are included in the televised meetings, requiring the transition of Announcements and Recognitions back to the 2nd and 4th Monday Regular meetings at 6:30 p.m. This will require an addition revision to City Council Policy 129.09.

City Council Policy 120.-9 - Public Forum
