Council Meetings

As the legislative branch of the City of Kandiyohi government, the Council holds open public meetings where local laws, policies, and basic decisions for the city are discussed and decided. Council members are elected at large.

The Mayor chairs council meetings and each member, including the Mayor, has a single, equal vote. No individual council member holds specific administrative powers.  Agendas are available prior to and at the meeting. There is also a Public Forum during each regular council meeting if a resident has anything they would like to bring to the attention of the City Council. Members of the public who wish to speak to an agenda item may do so, upon the recognition of the Mayor.

Regular Council meetings are held the first and third Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. January through November and the first Monday of December at the Kandiyohi City Hall/Civic Center; located at 432 Atlantic Ave; Kandiyohi, MN 56251. If a council meeting date falls on a federal holiday, the council meeting will be held the following evening. 

Special meetings may be called from time to time at the request of the Mayor, with proper public notice. Residents are encouraged to attend. Members of the public who wish to speak on a special meeting agenda item may do so upon recognition by the Mayor.

Due to public notice requirements, special meetings must adhere strictly to the published agenda. Any new items not listed will be added to the agenda for discussion at the next regularly scheduled council meeting.

Meeting minutes are recorded and reviewed at the following Council meeting. Once approved at the next regular Council meeting, the official minutes are made available to the public in the "Meeting Minutes" section of this website.
