Public hearings are usually held on Tuesdays at 5 p.m. or 7 p.m. during regular Council meetings and are advertised in the local newspaper. Â
Non-statutory public hearing
Non-statutory public hearings are directed by Council to seek input from residents on other matters and will be advertised in advance.Â
