November 2024 City Council Schedule
November 2024 City Council Schedule
Each month the Eugene City Council holds work sessions, meetings and public hearings. Community members are welcome and encouraged to attend.
A city council work session is primarily designed for discussion and exploration of various issues, policies, or projects. It provides the mayor and city council an opportunity to gather information and brainstorm ideas in a more informal and collaborative environment. During work sessions there is open dialogue among council members and City staff.
City council meetings are structured with an agenda that includes segments for councilor reports and items of interest, routine action items, action on ordinances or resolutions, and in-person public comment. These meetings follow specific rules of order, ensuring that official business is conducted effectively.
City Council public hearings focus on gathering public input on a particular issue, project, or policy. Public testimony is a key component, with participants allotted a designated time to speak. Proposed ordinances can be viewed online prior to the scheduled public hearing date.
City Council meetings and Public Hearings are typically held at the City Hall Council Chambers and include an option to tune in virtually (see details below), while Wednesday work sessions are virtual only - be sure to check the meeting listing to confirm the location.
More information about visiting City Hall including a list of travel options, patron code of conduct and entrance requirements is available at the Visiting City Hall website.
