The public listens to deliberation at one of the Council’s many meetings.
The following documents have each been intended to provide the Council with guidance. The documents may or may not have a framework for updates, changes, or adjustments, and may evolve through updates, be expanded as needed, and serve a different purpose over time. The Council may choose to formally make the changes through motions during a Council meeting, or a staff person, committee, or the Executive director may re-write the documents to provide clarity on policy.
