- Attend a Meeting -- Council and Development Review Advisory Board Meetings are normally in the Council Chambers of Town Hall, 405 Martin Luther King, Jr., Blvd., Chapel Hill, NC. See also Scheduled Public Hearings.
- Petition the Council -- The Council hears petitions, either written or oral, at the beginning of each regular Business Meeting. Sign up with the Town Clerk. You are encouraged to notify the Mayor's or Town Manager's Office by the Thursday morning before a Wednesday night meeting. With this notice, we’re able to include your petition on the Council agenda. People making a petition are normally limited to three minutes. Only one speaker is permitted on each petition. The petition period is 15 minutes per meeting. Petitions are not normally acted upon at the time they are presented. See Petition Status.
