Highlights from public comment at Cleveland City Council before they head out on summer break.
🏛️📢Cleveland City Council holds public meetings most Monday nights, where laws are passed, condolences and congratulations are given to notable members of the community…. AND residents are given the opportunity to speak directly to Council through public comment.
"Most Mondays nights" because right now Cleveland City Council is taking its annual summer break from regular Monday meetings. Council's last regular meeting was on Monday, June 3. It's next regular meeting will be held Monday, September 9th. That means for 14 weeks residents will not have an opportunity to make an in-person public comment at a Cleveland City Council meeting. (Council has said they will be accepting written public comments via its website all summer long.)
For this special edition of the Public Meetings Report we highlight a few of the many public comments made at Cleveland City Council before they headed out on break. From gratitude to city staff, ideas to better use city-owned vacant lots, to support for the city flag from the great-granddaughter of the "Betsy Ross of Cleveland." Give a listen and hear what folks stepped up to the mic to say! 👂🏿🗣️
