The business meetings are televised by the local cable provider and may be seen on the City-TV 20.
The City Council is empowered to adopt and enforce legislative and budgetary ordinances, policies, and rules and regulations necessary to conduct the public's business and to provide for the protection of the general health, safety and welfare of the public. As such, it sets forth the policy direction of the City and all ordinances are codified and are available for public inspection in the Office of the City Clerk.
City Council conducts its monthly work session every third Tuesday evening at 7:30 p.m. in the City Council Conference Room on the 4th floor of the Municipal Building. City Council conducts its nuts and bolts business at the work session. Items that appear at the work session, if approved by Council, are formally presented at a future monthly business meeting for formal action. A short business meeting is held at 7:00 p.m. immediately prior to the work session to conduct any carry over business from a previous meeting. The work session convenes immediately after the business meeting adjourns.
The public is cordially invited to attend the meetings and work sessions of the City Council. Any person wishing to appear before the City Council may appear at the meeting and present his concerns. The Mayor will always ask, prior to any business being conducted, if anyone in the audience has anything he would like to bring to the attention of City Council that is not on the agenda. Anyone wishing to formally present information to the City Council, particularly presentations which would require Council action, should contact the City Manager's Office at 799-5100 or appear in person at the Office of The City Manager, 4th Floor, Municipal Building in downtown Danville.
