The City Manager and City Secretary are recommending to hold the meetings on the first and third Tuesdays of each month based on the volume of agenda items and other business transacted at Council meetings.

Section 4.09(c) of the City Charter of the City of Schertz, Texas provides that the City Council shall meet at least once each month at a time and place prescribed by Ordinance. Section 2-2 of the Code of Ordinances establishes the time and place for Council meetings. The City Council over the years has amended this section, most recently in 2015, when they approved Ordinance 15-M-32 that established that meetings are set on the first, second, and fourth Tuesdays of each month.

City staff will provide notice of the change of meeting dates on the front page of the City's website and through notice in the Schertz Magazine and other media outlets the City of Schertz utilizes.
