Meetings and Communication
Pine Lake City Council meets on second and last Tuesday of each month (in the Courthouse) at 6:00 PM. Agendas are posted at City Hall a week before each meeting and on the Pine Lake website.
Periodic Town Hall meetings provide time for more extended discussions between residents and elected officials, or for public education. Schedule is posted at City Hall and on this website.
The best ways to know what is going on are:
- Come to Council meetings and Town Hall meetings and ask questions!
- Read the minutes of the meetings published on this website
- Talk to the Mayor or your Council members
If you would like to become more involved in City governance, there are many opportunities to serve. Contact the Mayor or a Council member.
