TOPIC: 2025 City Council Meeting Calendar
AGENDA TITLE
Review and Approve the Annual Calendar of City Council Meetings for 2025
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Review calendar of regularly scheduled City Council meetings in 2025.
2. Cancel the regularly scheduled City Council meetings of January 7, 2025 and
August 5, 2025.
3. Direct staff to post Notice(s) of Cancellation and waive notice to the City Council of
said meetings as required by the Government Code.
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No
DISCUSSION
Pursuant to Charter Section 409, the City Council has adopted a resolution setting the
time, place, and manner of holding its meetings. Resolution No. 2023-047, Section 2(a),
states “Regular meetings of the City Council shall be on the first and third Tuesdays of
each month beginning on January 1, 2014.” Past practice by the City Council has been
to cancel the first meeting of the year, a meeting during the summer months, and other
meetings as requested by the City Council. Staff recommends that the same past
practice be adopted for 2025:
1. Cancel the first meeting of the year scheduled for January 7, 2025. City Hall will be
closed from December 24, 2024 through January 1, 2025 for recognized holidays (last
working day before Christmas, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day) as well as the
negotiated Holiday Closure within several Memoranda of Understanding.
2. Cancel the meeting scheduled for August 5, 2025. The first Tuesday of August is
recognized as National Night Out, a community engagement event hosted by Police
Departments across the country.

The proposed 2025 calendar (Exhibit 1) includes the two above-referenced
recommendations. If the City Council cancels any regularly scheduled meeting,
consideration of agenda items will resume at the next regularly scheduled meeting. The
City Council reserves the right to cancel any other meetings and notify the public as
legally required by the Brown Act. Additionally, Special Meetings may be called
pursuant to the Brown Act, the City Charter, and Resolution No. 2023-047, as needed.
The 2025 Master Calendar and agendas for all regular and special City Council
meetings will be posted on the City’s website at www.santa-ana.org/agendas-
and/minutes. City Council meetings are typically held in the Council Chamber, 22 Civic
Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 or as otherwise noted on the agenda.
