How can the community participate in Metro Council meetings?

Public hearings are held to give the community an opportunity to voice their opinions on matters. Public hearings are held for various issues such as road projects, appropriating money, and levying taxes. Before a public hearing may be held, the item is first introduced by a Council Member then approved by the body for discussion at a later date. In that interim period, the date and time of the public hearing are advertised in the newspaper, and on our website.
