Information About Emailing City Council Members
City Council members value public input and members of the public are welcome to contact them.
Please be aware that emails sent to the council are subject to the MN Government Data Practices Act. They may be made available to anyone requesting a copy or made part of the public record if directed to a matter before the council.
In addition, councilmembers must review and decide matters before them in a fair, open, and judicial manner. In an effort to maintain fairness, councilmembers may not be able to respond to your questions and concerns about a particular matter. If you are interested or concerned about an issue before the City Council, we encourage you to attend the open meeting when it is discussed.
If you have questions about an upcoming City Council agenda item, or a process of the city, please direct those questions to our city staff.
