    Virtual Community Meetings

    Any member of the public is welcome to attend a City-hosted community meeting. Below are ways we invite the public to participate and engage in their local government.

    COVID-19 RESPONSE: VIRTUAL COMMUNITY MEETINGS

    To reduce the spread of COVID-19, community meetings will have a remote format through the video-conferencing interface Zoom. Until further notice, no in-person attendance at community meetings will be permitted.

    Examples of these community meetings are City planned construction projects neighborhood meetings, City Mobility Plan feedback sessions, Parks Master Plan meetings, etc. These community meetings do not have statutory requirements and are only informational sessions or to gather feedback from participants.
