An agenda is a roadmap for a City Council meeting. To help residents understand what different parts of the agenda actually mean, Cleveland Documenters created this annotated guide. 

We consulted Cleveland’s City Charter and council’s rules for this project. We also tapped the expertise of Clerk of Council Patricia Britt.
