18 places you can stand up and be on the record.

Public comment at a council meeting becomes part of the permanent record whether anyone answers you or not. That is the whole point of it. Every schedule below came from the city's own page, ordinance, or agenda PDF — and where a city's site would not load, the entry says so instead of guessing.
