In a move aimed at boosting resident engagement, the City Council has announced a shift in the timing of its public hearings starting from June 2024. The decision, as stated by the Council, is to commence the meetings one hour earlier than their previous schedule.

The Council's reasoning behind this adjustment is clear, with a focus on enhancing and encouraging resident participation in these crucial public hearings. By starting earlier, the Council hopes to see fewer meetings running late into the evening, potentially making it more convenient for residents to attend and engage in the discussions.
