The
City Council holds public hearings as required for specific legislative items
on the agenda, as well as a monthly Speak to Council session. These meetings are open to the public in
order to allow an opportunity for constituents to voice their opinions, ideas, concerns
or support for either legislation that the Council will be voting on that month,
or any other issues that may be affecting the community.
Public
Hearings and Speak to Council sessions take
place in the City Council Chambers, City Hall, 30 Church Street, Room 302-A,
generally on the 3rd Thursday of the month, beginning at 6:00 p.m.

Int. No. 43 – Authorizing the alteration of pavement widths for the 2024 Milling & Resurfacing Project

is not required.
Copies of this introductory item can be found in the City Council Proposed Legislation on the City’s website at:

The Speak to Council session will begin immediately following the
conclusion of the public hearings.
Advance sign up is required for
citizens who wish to address the Council during the Speak to Council
session. All persons desiring to speak must signup no later than 4:30 p.m. on the day of the Speak to Council
