SUBJECT:

Resolution 251124-A - City Council Schedule of Meetings for the year 2026

DESCRIPTION: Michigan’s Open Meetings Act (Public Act No. 267 of 1976, as amended) states that within 10 days of the first meeting of the public body in each calendar or fiscal year, the body must publicly post a list stating the dates, times, and places of all its regular meetings at its principal office. Section 4.13 of the City CharterRegular meetings of the council shall be held at least twice in each calendar month at the usual place of holding meetings of the Council. If any time set by resolution of the Council for the holding of a regular meeting of the council shall be a holiday, then such regular meeting shall be held on the next following secular day which is not a holiday or on such other day as may be set by the Council. Regular City Council meetings will be held at Saugatuck City Hall, 102 Butler Street, Saugatuck, MI 49453 at 6:30 p.m. on the second and fourth Monday of each month. Attachment A reflects the proposed 2026 schedule of meetings. Two dates fall on holidays and need to be adjusted: May 25th (Memorial Day) next secular day - Tuesday, May 26th. October 12th (Indigenous People's Day) next secular day - Tuesday October 13th. Attachment B (Resolution) incorporates these secular date adjustments for May 26th and October 13th, and Motion #1 corresponds to these changes. If you choose to modify these dates to something other than the next secular day, please reference Motion #2, and I will revise the Resolution accordingly.
