ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
TO: Mayor and Town Council February 3, 2026
SUBJECT:Resolution No. 5-2026, changing the regular meeting date of the Danville
Town Council from December 1 to December 8, 2026; and scheduling all
the second Tuesday every December
BACKGROUND
The Town Council conducts its regular meetings on the first and third Tuesdays of each
month. The Town Council adopted Resolution No. 33-2025 establishing the Town
Council meeting dates for 2026. Due to the timing of the certification of election results,
it is necessary to modify the Danville Town Council meeting schedule for December 2026.
DISCUSSION
The Town consolidates the election process with Contra Costa County. This year, a
municipal election will take place on November 3. California Election Code section 15372
requires the County to certify the election results to the Secretary of State within 30 days
of the election, following the 28-day canvass. Following the canvass, the County prepares
and distributes a certificate of the results to each municipality. In response to an inquiry
from the Danville City Clerk, the County elections staff said that they cannot guarantee
the date or time in which the Town will receive the Election Certificate and would not
schedule the Installation on December 1.
Tuesday, November 3 Election Day
Tuesday, December 1 28-day canvass deadline
Thursday, December 3 30-day certification deadline to Secretary of State
The Town must receive the Election Certificate prior to Council adoption of the election
results and subsequent swearing-in of Councilmembers. The California Elections Code
requires the Town Council to adopt the election results at the first regular meeting
following the canvass, or a special meeting called for that purpose. Since the Town is not
expected to receive the Election Certificate until after December 1, it is recommended that
the Town Council consider modifying the meeting date.
The Town Council discussed this item at a publicly noticed study session on January 13,
2026, and directed staff to change the first regular meeting date in December 2026 from
December 1 to December 8. To provide consistency for future years, the Town Council
directed staff to schedule the and Community Service Awards event
on the second Tuesday in December. Regular meetings will be held on the first and third
Tuesday in December. Town Council Study Sessions and/or special meetings will be
scheduled as needed.
