MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Knackstedt and Council Members
FROM: Shellie Saner, City Clerk
DATE: November 4, 2026
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2026-69 - Establishing the 2027 City Council Regular
Meeting Schedule.
This Resolution is intended to establish a calendar for the regular meetings of the City Council in
2027, in accordance with KMC 1.10.040(b).
City Charter, allows that a meeting may be cancelled by the Mayor due to a lack of a quorum, for
an emergency, or by a majority of council members for any reason as long as at least twenty
regular meetings are held each year and at least one each month. The 2027 proposed meeting
schedule includes at least one regular meeting each month and more than the minimum
requirement of twenty regular meetings each year, with the exception of one meeting in July.
The proposed meeting scheduling sets meetings every first and third Wednesday of each month,
except July based on the following:
• The second meeting of July coincides with the peak season of the personal use dipnet
fishery and other seasonal activities which is a busy time of the year for residents.
Future Considerations: The first meeting in December may be cancelled as it could coincide with
the Alaska Municipal League conferences in Anchorage.
Your consideration is appreciated.
