Public hearings are conducted by the City Council during a Council meeting, usually as required by state law, allowing Council members to receive information and hear public comments regarding proposed rezonings, dispositions of city-owned property and other topics. Comments are limited to five minutes per speaker, unless the Mayor allows otherwise.
