otherwise officially changed by the City Council, the Council shall meet in the City Council Work
Session Room and Council Chamber respectively at the City Hall on Tuesday of each week at
times set by the City Council by Resolution in order to be briefed on matters of interest to
the city and conduct other city business; and
WHEREAS, the City Council previously adopted Resolution 6168-09-2025 setting the
regularly scheduled City Council Work Sessions and City Council Meetings for January 2026 through
