How to
Address Council
Every citizen of Joplin has the right to speak to council for up to 5 minutes per subject.
Sign up to speak here.
If you sign up before noon the Thursday before a council meeting you will be placed near the beginning of the meeting under Citizen Requests & Petitions.
If you sign up after Thursday noon, you will be placed under New Business.
You can also sign up in person, see the City Clerk before the meeting starts for a sign up form.
How to conduct your speak:
When your name is called, approach the dias and state your name. You get 5 minutes. If your time runs out, you may request extra time. Council will vote and then you can continue to speak if the extra time is approved.
