Marietta's city council is offering locals a seat at the decision-making table, with two public meetings scheduled for the upcoming week. Citizens looking to keep a watchful eye on local governance can do so in person or remotely as the council convenes on Monday, June 10th, at 5:15 p.m. for an agenda work session, followed by an agenda review session on Wednesday, June 12th at 6 p.m., which rolls into the regular council meeting at 7 p.m.
For those strapped to their couches or desks, both sessions can be accessed online on the city’s official website mariettaga.gov, with agendas available prior to the meetings for some pre-meeting prep. In an effort to boost transparency, meetings will be broadcast live, ensuring no one misses a beat, and will be archived for posterity and for anyone who prefers a late-night viewing of their municipal representatives in action.
Residents keen on getting up close and personal with council members will have their chance post-meeting in the Council chamber for an "informal discussion and socializing" session, a rare opportunity to mingle with the minds steering the city's policy ship. Regular City Council meetings get an encore as well, airing a digestible replay on the last Saturday of each month at 3 p.m. on Comcast Channel 23, to catch any missed moments or for those wishing a rerun of civic engagement.
Those who wish to learn more or have questions that need answers can dial 770-794-5668 for more details. Its a chance to engage with local leadership directly and perhaps spur change in the Marietta community, proving that the gears of government grind forward with the input and scrutiny of its constituents.
