The City of Lloydminster is looking to establish its council meeting schedule for next year.
Council is required to establish its meeting schedule prior to the new year. The city will be looking to stick with their Monday meeting dates.
“This schedule maintains Monday meeting dates and includes the annual budget review on Nov. 4, 2026,” said Shannon Rowan, interim city clerk.
Mayor Gerald Aalbers says there’s positives and negatives when deciding what day to host meetings on.
“I think people have asked why on a Monday and not a Tuesday, but I think there’s pluses and minuses no matter what day you pick to have a meeting,” he said.
Throughout the year, council has two regular council meetings scheduled per month.
“Council is scheduled to meet three times a month, September through June, except for December,” said Aalbers. “Two council meetings and a GPC (Governance and Priorities Committee meeting) is currently what it’s scheduled for.
“July and August one council, one GPC.”
Meetings that would land on a holiday Monday are instead pushed to Tuesday. The item is expected to return in November for decision.
