Council Sets Public Hearing on Property Sale

Council action

The council approved setting a public hearing on a proposed property sale. The action begins a public process for considering the sale and gives the public a chance to participate before the matter moves forward.

Public hearing

A public hearing is a formal meeting where members of the public may comment on a government decision. The council’s approval to set the hearing means the sale will be placed on the council’s public agenda at a later time.

The hearing notice will be the next key step in the process. It should identify when and where the hearing will take place and describe the property or sale under consideration.

What comes next

The council will need to conduct the hearing after it is scheduled. The public may then review the proposal and offer comments during the meeting. Any later action on the sale would follow the council’s consideration of the matter.
