The Morrisville Town Council meets on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month. This format style provides Council Members adequate time to evaluate actions before voting and gives the public ample time to review pending actions prior to the Council ’s vote. Briefings Sessions are conducted at 6:30 p.m. on the second Tuesday of each month. Briefings are a time for deliberation on pending items. Business meetings are conducted at 6:30 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of each month. At Business meetings, staff presents those pending items for action.

How it works - Proposed action items are developed by the town staff. Such items consist of proposed administrative policy, legislation establishing or amending town ordinances, zoning cases, site plan consideration, and other issues. Staff compiles all the pertinent material for each item into what is called a “Briefing Sheet”. Council actions come in the form of an ordinance or resolution for most items. These action documents are apart of the briefing materials given to the Council as part of the Agenda. Items are typically briefed twice. That means that an item will be presented at a briefing meeting during one month and will be briefed again during the following month's briefing session. The item then is typically presented for action by the Council at the very next business meeting that follows that second briefing. Any discussion during the first briefing, resulting in questions, is routinely addressed during the second briefing of the item.

| Lending your voice - Public Hearings and public comments allow the public to weigh in on the issues. Public hearings and public comments are conducted at the business meetings unless otherwise posted. Public hearing comments are used by the board during their deliberation of an item. Public hearings are typically required by law for certain items such as rezonings and annexations. Not all matters require public hearings. The public comments section provides a means for people to address the Council on most any matter. Such comments are to be kept to three minutes or less. Public comments can also be mailed to the Town Clerk at Town of Morrisville, Post Office Box 166, Morrisville 27560 or email ddavis@ci.morrisville.nc.us.

| Our process is further enhanced by the town’s use of the internet. Agendas for briefing and business meetings are posted on the town’s website the Friday prior to each board meeting. These agendas remain on the webpage and the public can refer to them at any time. Each agenda item is actively linked to briefing sheets and all supporting documentation for the proposed action. This open access to the governmental process reflects that valued partnership between your leaders and you! |
Meetings normally occur the 2nd and 4th Tuesday monthly.
