Common Council Meeting — Agenda

Our intention is to have in-person meetings going forward. For the time being, we will hold the City Committee Meetings, Plan Commission, Council and most others at the Community Room at 933 Michigan Avenue. This in-person location will meet the legal requirement for our open meetings. We will have a virtual option available, but the technology for the hybrid style meeting may not be reliable all of the time.
