Background info:

The City of Columbia, alongside Council members, is hosting “Let’s Talk Local,” a monthly gathering held by one of the City’s Council members in their respective wards. This is a great opportunity for you to engage in meaningful dialogue with your fellow residents and elected council members, share your thoughts and learn about the issues that matter most to you. All residents are welcome to attend any event, regardless of what Ward you live in.

Each month, the hosting Council member will choose a topic important to residents. City staff will give a short presentation and answer questions related to that topic. Following that, we can discuss anything of interest to the group. As events are scheduled, details will be posted here, along with the focus topic for that month.

Your voice is vital to shaping our community’s future, and we encourage you to come, participate and connect with your neighbors. Together, we can address the concerns that matter most and work toward making our community the best it can be.

Members of the public may attend any open meeting. For requests for accommodations related to disability, please call 573.874.CITY (2489) or email City@CoMo.gov.
