On October 1, the City Council set its schedule of regular City Council meetings for the 2020 calendar year. The City Charter requires that the Council meet at least twice a month.
Historically, the Council has met on Tuesdays; however, due to the large voter turnout expected for the 2020 Presidential Election, the Council has decided to meet on Wednesday, November 4, rather than on Election Day (Tuesday, November 3). The full 2020 meeting schedule is shown below.
