This Fort Worth City Council resolution establishes the schedule for council work sessions and regular meetings for January through December 2026, maintaining the existing practice of alternating Tuesday meetings at City Hall. The resolution also updates the City Council Rules of Procedure to accommodate management concerns about workload distribution by allowing limited business items (primarily consent agendas) to be considered at public comment meetings, and adjusts various procedural deadlines to comply with a Texas Open Meetings Act revision requiring agendas be posted three business days in advance rather than 72 hours before meetings. The changes aim to balance public participation opportunities with improved staff workload management while maintaining transparency and public access.
