Background and Analysis:
Background and Analysis did not change from first to second reading.
At the City Council retreat in January, Councilmembers and staff discussed changing the time regular meetings of the City Council are held to an earlier hour in order to make more efficient use of limited time and resources.
If the Ordinance is approved, the start time for the regular business meetings of the Olympia City Council would move from 7:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
The Council will also shift to having one Tuesday night per month set aside for study/work sessions, with the other Tuesdays remaining in the month for regular business meetings.
Climate Analysis:
This issue will have no known effect on the climate.
Equity Analysis:
This issue will have no known effect on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
