PURPOSE:
To proactively adopt a calendar of all known meeting dates, and cancelations of meetings, of the Littleton City Council to provide for more efficient scheduling of agenda items and to better inform our community.
LONG-TERM OUTCOME(S) SERVED:

DISCUSSION:

By adopting an annual meeting calendar, efficiency is gained by enabling city council and staff to schedule other events and meetings, and to schedule any necessary travel, far in advance. The council may, via motion, amend the adopted calendar throughout the year if deemed necessary.

* Regular meeting: July 7, 2026 - Summer break
* Study session: July 14, 2026 - Summer break
* Regular meeting: August 4, 2026 - National Night Out (NNO)

Council may want to also consider the following meeting dates that conflict with other meetings or community events:
* Regular meeting: November 17, 2026 - NLC
* Study session: November 24, 2026 - Thanksgiving week
