Starting in January, Dearborn City Council meetings will move to Tuesdays at 7:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers at City Hall, 13615 Michigan Ave.

Previously, council meetings were on Mondays at 7 p.m. It isn’t clear way the change in time and day were made but it should prove to be more convenient for residents.

There will be a few exceptions next year and some meetings will be held on Monday, including Feb. 27 because of the Presidential Primary Election on Tuesday, Feb. 28. The council will meet on Monday again on Aug. 6 because of the Aug. 7 election.

The following is a listing of the City Council Meetings for 2012:

January 10, January 24, February 7, February 27 (Monday), March 6, March 27 April 24, May 8, May 29 and June 12.

Meetings will continue July 24, August 6 (Monday), September 11, September 25, October 9, October 30, November 13, December 4 and December 18.

The Committee of the Whole meetings have also changed to 7:30 p.m., but will remain on Thursdays. This also is a more convenient time for residents who work during the day and may want to try and sit in on these sessions. The meetings, during which the council sets the agenda for the Tuesday meetings, will remain in the City Council Chambers at City Hall.

The following is a listing of the 2012 Committee of the Whole meetings:

January 5, January 19, February 2, February 16, March 1, March 22, April 19, May 3 May 24, and June 7.
