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 changes aim to balance public participation opportunities with improved staff workload management while maintaining transparency and public access.

The Knox County Planning Commission considered a proposal to rename a section of Andes Road to Hitching Post Drive in County Commission District 6, requested by Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works due to the realignment of Schaad Road. The change is necessary to comply with the County Street Naming Ordinance, as the realignment would create non-contiguous sections of Ball Camp Pike, and the new name logically extends the existing Hitching Post Drive to the west; the proposal requires three new addresses to be assigned and has received no public objections. Staff recommended approval as the name change meets all requirements of Knox County Code Chapter 54, Article II, Section 54-40, with the item scheduled for forwarding to Knox County Commission on November 12, 2024.
