Citizen Comments, The Council has always encouraged citizens to bring their comments and questions to the Council Meetings so we can be aware of your thoughts and be better able to represent you. During these challenging times, we have been forced to adapt some different technologies and procedures to be able to conduct the business of the City and still be mindful of the safety of our City staff and our citizens.
In these unique times we want to continue to seek participation from our citizens in a manner that will be both efficient and productive to the meeting process. However, the technology we are using to conduct our meetings makes it more difficult for us to have an open exchange or discussion such as we have had when we were in the Council Room together.
If you have a question or comment that you would like to be considered by the Council, please send an email now or during the meeting to councilmeetingquestions@cityoflula.com
Council Comments
This is a preliminary look at what we anticipate will be under consideration of the Council. Some items are strictly for discussion only and keeping the council informed of current conditions and will not be placed on the regular agenda. The Agenda for the Regular Monthly Meeting of the Council being the third Monday of every month will be published by noon the Friday prior to the meeting date. All request to be placed on the regular agenda should come in writing (forms available) a week in advance and should encompass all supporting documents in advance of the work session.
