AGENDA

CHANHASSEN CITY COUNCIL

Monday, February 22, 2021

CHANHASSEN CITY HALL, 7700 MARKET BOULEVARD
Electronic Meeting

 

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, for the next few weeks it is anticipated that some or all members of the City Council will participate in meetings by telephone and/or web conference pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 13D.021, rather than in person at the city council’s regular meeting place at Chanhassen City Hall, 7700 Market Boulevard, Chanhassen, Minnesota.

 

The Public Hearings portion of the City Council agenda allow for the public to provide comments on those agenda items. To help ensure an open public process, we have made accommodations for the public to continue to view and participate in public hearings by selecting one of three options:

 

City Council Meetings

 

  • EMAIL your comments to the City Council at publiccomments@ci.chanhassen.mn.us All comments received by 6:30 p.m. on the day of the meeting will be included as a part of the city council meeting. This is the preferred method of public participation for City Council meetings.

 

  • WATCH the meeting live online at www.ci.chanhassen.mn.us/agendas or on Mediacom Cable Channel 107.2. The meeting begins at 7:00 pm. PHONE in your comments at 952-227-1630 when the Mayor opens the desired public hearing for comment. The Mayor will take each call in the order received.

 

  • ATTEND the meeting in person and present your comments when called upon. Social distancing practices will be observed during the meeting. Seating will be limited for this option.

 

If you wish to make a public comment under the Visitor Presentations portion of the City Council agenda, please review the Guidelines for Visitor Presentations and complete and submit the online form.

GUIDELINES FOR VISITOR PRESENTATIONS

 

Welcome to the Chanhassen City Council Meeting.  In the interest of open communications, the Chanhassen City Council wishes to provide an opportunity for the public to address the City Council.  That opportunity is provided at every regular City Council meeting during Visitor Presentations.


  • Anyone seeking a response or action from the City Council following their presentation is required to complete and submit a Citizen Action Request Form. An online form is available at https://www.ci.chanhassen.mn.us/action or paper forms are available in the city council chambers prior to the meeting.


  • Anyone indicating a desire to speak during Visitor Presentations will be acknowledged by the Mayor. When called upon to speak, state your name, address, and topic. All remarks shall be addressed to the City Council as a whole, not to any specific member(s) or to any person who is not a member of the City Council.


  • If there are a number of individuals present to speak on the same topic, please designate a spokesperson that can summarize the issue.

  • Limit your comments to five minutes. Additional time may be granted at the discretion of the Mayor. If you have written comments, provide a copy to the Council.

  • During Visitor Presentations, the Council and staff listen to comments and will not engage in discussion. Council members or the City Manager may ask questions of you in order to gain a thorough understanding of your concern, suggestion or request.

 

  • Please be aware that disrespectful comments or comments of a personal nature, directed at an individual either by name or inference, will not be allowed. Personnel concerns should be directed to the City Manager.
