In addition to the Metropolitan Council meetings, Council members serve on standing committees which meet regularly and make recommendations to the full Council. The public is encouraged to attend the Council's meetings and hearings and express their points of view on matters before the Council. The council also has citizen advisory committees on specific topics.
