There are several public meeting to have your voice heard on the Broadway issue. Probably the most important are City Council meetings and Public Works committee meetings. The way things generally work in our local Missoula government is that an issue or resolution is requested by a council member to be on a committee agenda. If it passes through the committee, then it goes to the full council for a public hearing and/or council vote. The Public Works committee is the committee that is revisiting the Broadway project. They generally meet from 2:05 pm to 3 pm on Wednesdays at City Hall (435 Ryman). Click http://www.ci.missoula.mt.us/cityclerk and then click on 'Committee Schedule' on the left hand side for meeting times and agendas of committees. If the project is to be discussed at committee, it will be on the agenda (unless rules are suspended which does happen), and it is important for people to speak or at least be present. Even if the project is not on the agenda, it is still important to speak to the issue. Public comment is almost always first on the agenda. While 3 minutes is the general time limit, lately there have been up to 15 minute presentations by the public on the Rattlesnake sewer issue. City Council meets Mondays at 7pm at City Hall, and items will be listed on their agenda to be discussed. Public comment is taken at the time that the agenda item comes up, or at the end of the meeting for non-agenda items.
