Communication from Councillor Nolan transmitting a calendar update on the Health and Environment Committee

CAMBRIDGE CITY COUNCIL Patricia Nolan City Councillor To: The Cambridge City Council Date: March 5, 2026 Subject: 2026 Schedule for Health and Environment Committee Meetings To the Honorable Mayor, the City Council: As Chair of the Health and Environment Committee, I am providing a draft calendar update on the 2026 schedule for the Committee so that we may have a productive and collaborative year in committee. The dates are subject to change, as are the calls of each meeting, but I wanted to give the City Council and the community a sense of the plans for this committee’s workplan so we can all be prepared for each discussion. Throughout the course of the year, new items may be referred to the committee and other items may come up, and I know there are many subjects to cover. I wanted to give you all a rough calendar to look at to set expectations and prepare for the conversations. Invitations for each of the meetings will go out to your calendars when the dates are finalized with the City Manager’s office and the City Clerk. If you have any questions or comments on the below schedule or on any individual meeting topic, please do not hesitate to reach out. Additionally, if you have other items that you would like to have the Health and Environment Committee consider, please let me know. Sincerely, Patricia Nolan Health and Environment Committee Chair Cambridge City Council CITY HALL, CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS 02139
