ABOUT COUNCIL MEETINGS...

Council Meetings: The Bonney Lake City Council holds its regular Council meetings on the 2nd & 4th Tuesdays of each month at 6:00 p.m. The full agenda items are considered and a citizen comment period is offered. Meetings are held in the Council Chambers at the Justice & Municipal Center, 9002 Main Street East.
Council Workshops: The City Council holds Workshops on various topics on the 1st & 3rd Tuesdays of each month at 6:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers at the Justice & Municipal Center, 9002 Main Street East. While the Council may take formal action at the workshop, this is generally a less formal meeting allowing the Council to review and discuss issues that they will be voting on at a regular meeting. Workshops are open to the public, but citizen comments are generally not allowed.
Meeting Decorum: In order to allow the Council to conduct its business in an efficient manner, it is expected that citizens will only address the Mayor and Councilmembers when invited to do so during Public Hearings or the Citizen Comments portions of the meeting. Please help preserve the order and dignity of the Council meetings by allowing the Council to pursue its work without interruption.

The Bonney Lake Mayor and Council are elected to make laws, establish policies and set the direction for the City. The Mayor is the Chief Administrative Officer for the City, and chairs Council meetings and workshops.
The Council’s business is conducted in an open public forum. The goal of the Bonney Lake City Council is to give citizens the opportunity to participate in the process of government and help the community achieve its full potential.

Public Hearings (BLMC 2.04.170): Citizens are invited to present their views on specific public hearing issues being considered by Council. A public hearing sign-in sheet is available at the information table. Those who do not sign up will be given opportunity to speak only if time allows. Comments are limited to 5 minutes per individual or 10 minutes for the designated representative of a group. Notices of public hearings are published in the City’s official newspaper, the Bonney Lake-Sumner Courier Herald, and are posted at the library, post office and Justice & Municipal Center, as well as on the City’s website.
Citizen Comments (BLMC 2.04.680, 2.04.685): Citizens are encouraged to attend and participate at all Council Meetings. You may address the Mayor and City Council on matters of City business, or over which the City has authority, for up to 5 minutes. Sign-up is not required.
