City Council meetings are held on the first Monday of each month. Additional Special City Council meetings may be called by the City Council or Mayor as needed with 24-hour written notice. If a meeting falls on a holiday, the meeting will be moved to the following Monday. City Council meetings are open to the public and are broadcast live. A remote participation option is also available through Zoom. 

Agendas & Minutes

City Council agenda packets are posted to the website prior to each meeting, generally on the Wednesday before a Monday meeting. Minutes are posted following approval by City Council. You may sign up to receive notifications whenever new agendas are posted.
