Marietta's City Council is all set for back-to-back meetings this month, and the public is invited to tune in online or show up in person to get the lowdown on the city's latest agenda. According to the City of Marietta announcement, the first gathering, an agenda work session, is scheduled for Thursday, March 7, beginning at 5:15 p.m., for those marking their calendars.
Not a week later, on March 13, Council's pulling a double-header with an agenda review at 6 p.m. and smoothly segueing into the regular meeting at 7 p.m., so for the civically engaged, there's ample opportunity to witness local governance in action, pops–details have been posted online to keep everyone in the loop.
Democracy's about dialogue and Marietta takes that to heart since both events will wrap up with a casual post-meeting mix where attendees can hobnob with council members. This informal chit-chat goes down at the Council Chamber, located on the lobby level of City Hall at 205 Lawrence St.—just the spot for pressing flesh and exchanging views.
Regular City Council meetings don't just happen behind closed doors; they air the business of the city on Comcast Channel 23, every last Saturday of the month at 3 p.m. which means no excuses for not keeping up with local policymakers, however, for folks wanting to catch the play-by-play as it happens, tune into the city's website at mariettaga.gov; where sessions will be broadcast live and saved for future civics lessons.
