INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Committee of the Whole
FROM: Laurel Humphrey, Legislative Analyst
DATE: June 18, 2024
SUBJECT: 2024 City Council Meeting Schedule
BACKGROUND
Resolution No. 2091 established a pilot meeting schedule to reduce Committee meetings to
once per month and hold full Council work sessions prior to Regular Meetings twice per
month. The resolution also called for the City Council to reevaluate the pilot meeting
schedule framework no later than July 1, 2024. The current schedule is as follows:
5:30 p.m. 7:00 p.m.
1st Monday Work Session Regular Meeting
2nd Monday Community Services & Safety Committee
Planning & Community Development Committee
Committee of the
Whole
3rd Monday Work Session Regular Meeting
4th Monday Finance & Governance Committee
Transportation & Infrastructure Services Committee
Committee of the
Whole
Due to the turnover on the City Council this year, the work session meetings were intended to
provide opportunities for Councilmembers to get up to speed on big topics, to foster full
group collaboration, and to present significant information to all members at the same time.
Six months in, committees have been operating successfully within the monthly schedule and
work sessions have been held on topics including risk management, Capital Improvement
Program, Robert’s Rules, biennial budget, and Comprehensive Plan.
Staff recommends continuing with this meeting schedule for the remainder of the year and
reevaluating in early 2025. Work sessions are currently being planned for Council discussion
on Tukwila South Development Agreement, Public Works Shops Phase 2, Comprehensive
Plan, Budget, and tenant protections.
RECOMMENDATION
Discussion only.
