In delivery of its official duties as the governing body of Richmond, Virginia, Richmond City Council holds an average of 12 official monthly public government meetings on behalf of Richmond residents to discuss, deliberate, and act on City laws, City Government Budget/Finances and City Government policy.
Richmond City Council Official Government Meetings are typically held monthly (with the exception of August and a second Formal and Informal meeting in December) on behalf of the "body of Council" and typically include (but are not limited to) two “Council Formal” meetings, two “Council Informal” meetings, six Council Standing Committee meetings, and Council Public Hearings and Public Information/Events held on an as-needed basis.
