The public is invited to attend the public hearings and meetings. All meetings begin at 6:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers on the second floor of the Historic Federal Building at 350 W. Sixth St. and will be aired live on CityChannel Dubuque (Mediacom channel 8 and ImOn channel 5), streamed and archived on the City’s website at cityofdubuque.org/media, and streamed on the City’s Facebook page at facebook.com/cityofdubuque and YouTube channel at youtube.com/@CityofDubuqueGovernment
