Legislation/Minutes Archive
Passed Legislation and Council Meeting Minutes are available on our documents portal. If you do not know the Ordinance or Resolution number, you may enter a keyword in the "Title Clause" box. Please remember to use asterisk (*) around your search term, for example *contract* or *Main*. Minutes are posted once approved by Council. Clerk's Office staff is continually adding meeting minutes from previous years. For other public record requests, please see the Public Record Request Policy.
Agenda
Ordinances and resolutions are introduced as new legislation at council meetings and can be viewed on the Agenda. Items may be declared emergencies and voted on immediately or referred to the regular agenda for the next committee and council meetings. There is a short summary of each ordinance and resolution (also called the title clause), organized by the committee to which the legislation is assigned. You may view the legislation by clicking on an item and viewing the supporting document. This short video explains how to navigate the agenda.
