In our latest piece for PHMOmag — “Public Comment and Public Notices: Pleasant Hill Reconsiders How It Connects With Its Community” — we explore how Pleasant Hill is discussing redesigning its meeting notices and public comment process to keep pace with an engaged, connected community.

📄 Key points:

The city meets Missouri’s legal posting requirement by placing agendas on City Hall’s back door — but is looking to post on websites/social media earlier (aiming for Thursdays!).

Public comment: According to John King, “In the state of Missouri, there is no statute that requires public comment. None.” The council is crafting clearer rules so your feedback matters — and so you know exactly how to give it.

Written comment submissions, word limits, decorum rules, and more are on the table.

Whether you attend in person, watch online, or just want to stay informed, this is about how the city communicates with you.
