Your comments should generally be limited to 3 minutes in length.
Public hearings offer particular opportunities for citizens to comment on important issues such as new ordinances, city budget, comprehensive plan amendments or adoption, and interlocal agreements.
Council Workshops, which precede council meetings, are for council information and discussion only. No citizens comments are accepted.
