How to Participate

  • Speak at City Council
    Public comment is taken on agenda items and general matters at every meeting — in person at Hesse Park or in writing to the City Clerk in advance.
  • Read the staff reports
    Landslide agenda items come with detailed staff reports — often the single best written source of current facts, budgets, and data. Posted with each agenda.
  • Watch the archives
    Every Council meeting is recorded. Landslide updates typically appear as standing agenda items during the ongoing emergency.
  • Follow district notices
    If you own property inside ACLAD or KCLAD boundaries, district board meetings decide how your assessments are spent.
