Regular Council Meetings
City Council, following a calendar approved each year, meets on certain Tuesday evenings.
Speak to Council
Speak to Council is an opportunity for the public to address the Council on a topic they are voting on that month or express their opinion on any other topic.
Anyone participating in Speak to Council will need to share the following information:
- Name
- Mailing address (no PO box)
- Phone number
- Email address
- Group or organization they are representing (if any)
- Topic they are speaking on
Interpreters for Speak to Council
Interpreters will be present at Committee Meetings, Public Hearings, Speak to Council, and Council Meetings. Interpreters may be requested for any other City Council meetings by emailing council@cityofrochester.gov at least 48 hours ahead of the meeting.
At the Council Meeting, each Committee presents to the entire Council the legislation it has considered along with its recommendations. Council then votes on each individual piece of proposed legislation, including any amendments.
After Council votes to adopt legislation, it is sent to the Mayor for signature. Enacted legislation is then filed with the City Clerk and printed in the annual "Proceedings of the Council of the City of Rochester".
All meetings of the Rochester City Council and its Committees are open to the public.
Please Note: Public Hearings will now be held following the monthly Committee Meeting; which is held on the Thursday before Council Meeting.
