Meetings

Regular meetings of the City Council are generally on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month and are held in the meeting room at the City municipal office building at 2 Lincoln Street in Essex Junction, or via remote access. (See the municipal calendar). The public is invited to attend and may address the board or ask questions during a special “public to be heard” section at the beginning of each meeting.

The City Council may hold special meetings to develop budgets, deal with personnel or contractual issues, or to extend public information sessions. All City Council meetings are warned  in advance. Official warnings appear on announcement boards in the lobbies of the City office and the Brownell Library. Meeting warnings are also posted on this website.
