City Council hearings are a core part of the legislative and oversight process. Through committee hearings and stated meetings, the Council reviews proposed legislation, conducts oversight of City agencies, and provides a public forum for testimony from residents, advocates, and government officials. These hearings are generally open to the public and are an important way constituents can engage directly with Council activity.
