How to take part

The public and media are welcome to attend our meetings in person. We also continue to use Microsoft Teams for virtual participation.

For those who want to tune in for observation only, a webcast is also available on our website or through our Facebook page. As a reminder, we cannot respond to comments on Facebook during the meeting.

How can you participate in upcoming Council meetings, public hearings, and more? You are welcome to participate in our meetings in person or virtually. Members of the public have an opportunity in the public hearing to provide their input on the topic being discussed once the Mayor calls for speakers. There is also an opportunity at the end of our regular Council meeting for the public and media to comment or ask questions about items on the regular Council meeting agenda.

If you will be participating virtually and wish to address Council, please click here to join the regular Council meeting call. We encourage you to sign in to the meeting about 10 minutes early to ensure you are connected in time (you will need to download the Teams app if you are connecting on a smartphone). You do NOT need a Microsoft account to join as a guest. We have a page explaining how it works, including technical details that go over how to use Microsoft Teams.
