Committees of Council:To assist Council in forming policy and making law, the following standing committees have been established to consider and recommend to Council on matters within their specific field:
Please contact the Mayor's office if you wish to speak to one of the Aldermen. The Council AgendaPrepared in Advance: Items to be considered by Council are listed on the agenda. Because there are so many matters for Council to consider, the agenda is prepared in advance so that Council may have time to consider these items. If you have an item for Council consideration, the agenda deadline is 12:00 noon on the Friday prior to Council Meeting. Council meetings are regularly scheduled for the first and third Monday of every month. If you have an item which requires consideration by one of the Standing Committees, the item must be submitted at least one week prior to the date of the Council Meeting. Citizen Participation:At Council meetings, those who wish to be heard on matters on the agenda are urged to inform the City Clerk prior to the meeting as to the item in which they have an interest. When called, participants are asked to come forward, give their name and address, and speak to the subject under discussion. Experience shows that many matters could have been handled faster if they had been taken up directly with the department providing the service rather than at Council Meetings. Please consult the listing of services. SuggestionsIf you wish to make a suggestion or complaint, contact the head of the department which handles the service or work concerned. If you are not sure which department to call or if you think your matter is not handled properly, please call the City Commissioner's office. |
