Meeting Agendas and Minutes

The City Clerk's office is proud to introduce our new Agenda Management and Public Transparency Records Portals to the Palo Alto Community. Staff has been working on a transition to these new systems for a more efficient internal processing of staff reports, agendas and records as well as a Record Management System that provides the public with access to historic legislative records in a searchable database.  

Looking for a Legislative Record? Search our new database of City Council actions, agendas, minutes, resolutions, ordinances, contracts and more visit our newly launched Record Portal. We are adding historic records into this system on a daily basis.

The City Council Agenda Packet is published 11 days before the meeting and uploaded to the City's web pages after 5:30 p.m. on Thursdays. Members of the Public may provide public comments via email, teleconference, in person, or by phone. For more information please visit our Resources for Hybrid Meetings Webpage. For meeting videos please visit Midpen Media Center. 

Pursuant to the provisions of the AB-361, Palo Alto City Council meetings and Boards, Commissions and Committees will be held as "hybrid" meetings with the option to attend by teleconference or in person. To maximize public safety while still maintaining public access, members of the public can choose to participate from home or attend in person. Meetings are broadcast on Cable TV Channel 26 or 29, live on YouTube, and live on the Midpen Media Center. Calling in or connecting 15 minutes before your item is scheduled to begin, will help ensure participation in a particular item.

The Clerk's office is interested in your experience with these two new systems. You are invited to Provide feedback on your experience.
