The Marietta City Council is scheduled to hold two important public meetings in the coming week. First on the docket, a 5:15 p.m. agenda work session is set for Monday, October 7, for council members to prep and fine-tune items for later discussion. Following that, on Wednesday, October 9, at 6 p.m., an agenda review session will take place just before the Council’s regularly scheduled meeting at 7 p.m. Both meetings are open for public attendance and will convene in the City Council chamber, at the heart of civic administration, located at 205 Lawrence St., as detailed in an announcement found on the city's official website.
Citizens who wish to follow the proceedings but can't be there in person have options. The City Council has made provisions for the public to participate virtually. Furthermore, the meeting agendas are made available online ahead of the meetings, ensuring that community members can stay abreast, of upcoming discussions and decisions. In a gesture of transparency, the meetings will also be broadcast live and can be revisited, since they'll be archived for future viewing on the city’s website.
For those interested in the less formal side of city governance, the council will host informal discussions immediately following both the October 7 and October 9 meetings. These post-meeting sessions will take place in the Council chamber and provide a space for candid discussion and socializing among attendees. It’s an opportunity for the people of Marietta to engage directly and informally with their elected representatives.
Regular City Council meetings have a spot too, with broadcasts each last Saturday of the month at 3 p.m. on Comcast Channel 23. For those marking calendars, this provides a consistent window to tune in to municipal affairs, digest council deliberations, and stay connected to local governance. In case additional information is needed, or residents have inquiries regarding the meetings or logistics therein, they can call 770-794-5668.
