The Citrus Heights City Council voted unanimously last week to change the regular meeting day for council meetings from Thursdays to Wednesdays. Effective July 1, meetings will shift from the second and fourth Thursday of the month to the second and fourth Wednesday.
According to the city, the recommendation to change regular council meetings from Thursday evenings to Wednesday evenings came from the observation of multiple conflicting events, including regional board meetings, community events, conferences, and summer park activities, which frequently take place on Thursdays.
Changing the meeting days will allow the council more opportunities to participate in community events and other meetings alongside the council meetings, according to the city.
The city confirmed that Sacramento Metropolitan Cable Commission, will broadcast the council meetings live on Metro Cable 14 on Wednesday evenings. Meetings will continue to be available via livestream on the city’s Youtube channel.
In addition, because Planning Commission meetings are currently held on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month, effective after July 1, Planning Commission meetings will be moved to the second and fourth Tuesday of each month, in accordance with the switch in City Council meeting days.
