Regular Council Meetings
City Council, following a calendar created each year, meets on certain
Tuesday evenings. The "Speak to Council" session, at which citizens
can address Council on any issue, starts at 6:30 p.m.
In order to "Speak to Council" about an issue on a particular
Council Meeting agenda, or to suggest an issue for a future Meeting, you must
call (585) 428-7421 before 5:30 p.m.
of the Meeting day. You will need to provide your name, address, the
organization you are representing (if any), and the topic you plan to speak

The
Council Meeting itself begins at 7:30
p.m. 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. They are held in Council Chambers, Room 302A, in City Hall, 30 Church
Street, at the corner of North Fitzhugh Street. Assistive devices for the
hearing impaired are available.
- Please Note: Public Hearings
will now be held following the monthly Committee Meeting; which is held on
the Thursday before Council Meeting.
