When does the city council meet?

Is the meeting open to the public?

Can I speak at the meeting?

How long do I get to speak at the meeting?

Usually three minutes each.

I want to talk about street safety.

There's no crosswalk anywhere by the school.

Our kids cross there alone.

That's a real hazard every day.

Should I file a 311 complaint?

There's a big pothole on our street.

The streetlight's been out for a month.

We collected signatures from the neighborhood.

Twenty neighbors signed with me.

How do I reach my council member?

Do they answer emails?

I'd like to join the neighborhood association here.

How can I volunteer at the polls on election day?

I speak Arabic, maybe that helps.

I really want to be part of this place.
