City Clerk’s Office <br />www.santa-ana.org/city-clerk <br />Item # 7 <br />City of Santa Ana <br />20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br /> Staff Report <br />November 4, 2025 <br />TOPIC: 2026 City Council Meeting Calendar <br />AGENDA TITLE <br />Review and Approve the Annual Calendar of City Council Meetings for 2026 <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />1. Review calendar of regularly scheduled City Council meetings in 2026. <br />2. Cancel the regularly scheduled City Council meetings of January 6, 2026, August <br />18, 2026, and November 3, 2026. <br />3. Direct staff to post Notice(s) of Cancellation and waive notice to the City Council <br />of said meetings as required by the Government Code. <br />GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No <br />DISCUSSION <br />Pursuant to Charter Section 409, the City Council has adopted a resolution setting the <br />time, place, and manner of holding its meetings. Resolution No. 2025-004, Section 2(a), <br />states “Regular meetings of the City Council shall be on the first and third Tuesdays of <br />each month beginning on January 1, 2014.” Past practice by the City Council has <br />typically been to cancel the first meeting of the calendar year, a meeting during the <br />summer months, a meeting that falls on Election Day, and any other meetings as <br />requested by the City Council. Staff recommends that the same past practice be <br />adopted for 2026: <br />1. Cancel the first meeting of the year scheduled for January 6, 2026. City Hall will <br />be closed from December 25, 2025 through January 4, 2026 for the holidays <br />(Christmas Day and New Year’s Day), weekends, the negotiated Holiday Closure <br />within several Memoranda of Understanding, and the standard alternating Friday <br />closure.
