Help our members track the City of Dallas Council meetings.
Ways You Can Help:
1. Follow Dallas Documenters for on-the-ground insights and meeting notes: Dallas Free Press Meeting Briefs https://dallasfreepress.com/public-meeting-briefs/
2. Monitor news sources for City of Dallas coverage.
3. Watch Council meetings and commission meetings to track discussions on issues. Meetings are typically the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month. You can confirm the meeting dates here: https://citysecretary2.dallascityhall.com/pdf/council_calendar.pdf. Videostream is accessible at http://bit.ly/3WKHMUh
Lastly, provide a very brief summary or highlight about the meeting. Or let Diane know if the Dallas Documenter report is sufficient. We hope your efforts will give the LWVD Board advance notice of when the League should advocate for an issue to the Trustees. The advocacy is done by the President - not the Observer.
Once you sign up, Diane Tasian will receive an automatic email and follow up with you.
Thank you for helping us stay informed and advocate for our community!
