Public Meetings: General Information and Agendas

Public meetings are an integral part of our democratic system.

They are an important channel for folks to communicate with their local government and see how decisions are made.

Comstock Charter Township typically has between six to eight public meetings a month of various boards and commissions.

These include the Township Board, the Planning Commission, the Downtown Development Authority, the Zoning Board of Appeals, and the Parks and Recreation Board.

You can find a calendar of our meetings on the front page of our website.

We post reminders of our meetings on social media approximately four hours before each meeting.

Before the meeting, the agenda can be viewed on our website by clicking on the “Agenda and Minutes” button.

We host two types of meetings.

Regular meetings are on a schedule adopted by the board and posted before the beginning of that calendar year.

We also hold special meetings, which are not on the yearly schedule but are called when specific Township business needs to be addressed.

When we have special meetings, we post the date of the special meeting on our website and at the Township Hall as early as possible.

We also post a reminder on our social media pages four hours before the special meeting.

A special meeting can be called by the board at a regular meeting, by the Township Supervisor, or by written request to the Township Clerk by a majority of the board members.

Please keep in mind we do need to cancel meetings from time to time, so keep an eye on our website.

We can only cancel a Township Board meeting due to not having a quorum, with the exception of if it’s canceled in advance at a regular board meeting.

If you are interested in attending a public meeting, please take time to look over the agenda and the agenda packet, which we post on our website and social media.

The Township boards and commissions try to follow their agendas as closely as possible to ensure we accomplish the business we need to during meetings.

If you can’t make it to the meeting in person, Public Media Network has several ways to watch the meeting.

You can watch our meetings live on Charter 1-88, AT&T U-verse 99- choose PMN Two on the menu, and the PMN App on Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, or a mobile device.
