The first part is useless verbiage. You have mixed your time references, and you surely don't need to mention the year! The coordination meeting has been scheduled for Monday, September 26th, at 0900 hrs / at 9:00 AM.

I don't like either sentence. If the meeting was scheduled "on Monday," that means that the scheduling was on Monday, not that the meeting will be on Monday.

It is awkward to say "...has been scheduled to be held."
