Council and committee meetings
The municipal council meets according to a specific monthly cycle. First, there are three committee meetings, followed by the public council meeting on the last Wednesday of the month. Council meetings are generally open to the public. You can attend the meeting, watch it live from home, or listen to it afterwards. You also have the opportunity to speak during a meeting.

Give your opinion (record a message)
There are several ways you can share your views with the council:
- Via the speakers' quarter about a proposal on the agenda of a council committee. You must register in advance with the Municipal Clerk’s Office. You can do this until just before the start of the committee meeting. You will have approximately five minutes to speak.
- The speakers' forum allows you to inform committee members about a current and urgent social issue or question that is not on the meeting agenda. Please note: you must register with the Municipal Clerk’s Office at least 24 hours before the start of the meeting. You will also have approximately five minutes to speak.
- By submitting a citizens' initiative, which you can then explain during a council meeting. The rules for this are set out in the citizens' initiative regulation.
Register at the Municipal Clerk’s Office
