Council & Committee Meetings

Notice:
COVID-19 Stay Home–Stay Safe Order Requirements for Council Meetings
Due to Governor Inslee’s Emergency Proclamations 20-25 and 20-28, the Pierce County Council will only conduct required County Council meetings at this time and only consider essential matters, in accordance with the governor’s proclamations.

In-person attendance by members of the public at meetings of the Pierce County Council is NOT permitted at this time. Remote attendance is available live through PCTV, cablecasted on Comcast 22; Click 22/522 HD and Rainier Connect 20/513. Remote public participation in Citizen’s Forum and public testimony on ordinances and resolutions on the Council Meeting (Tuesdays at 3:00 p.m.) Agenda is provided by using Zoom by calling 253.215.8782 (Webinar ID 976-6178-7423). All legislation can be viewed and commented on-line. Information to participate in other meetings is available at the top of each meeting agenda.

Council Meetings and Committees

The County Council functions through the work of its standing committees and regional committees, which scrutinize proposed legislation prior to consideration by the full Council. The Council’s review of ordinances, motions, and budgets help ensure that county government operates in an efficient, transparent, and cost-effective manner, with equal access for all county residents. Regional and external committees include elected officials and representatives from other jurisdictions.

Pierce County Council service on Outside Boards, Commissions, and Committees

The duties of a Pierce County Councilmember extend far beyond their visible attendance at Council meetings in the County-City Building in Tacoma. State law requires them to serve on many regional governing boards in such critical areas as transportation, public health, criminal justice, and other quality of life issues that cross jurisdictional boundaries.
