Work sessions allow two minutes for comments, while public hearings provide time for residents to voice opinions after staff presentations. All meeting details are posted online at cityofpuyallup.org prior to each session.

Meetings typically start at 6:30 p.m. at Puyallup City Hall, 333 S Meridian, on the fifth floor. The city offers video recordings of meetings on its website and local cable channels. Residents can sign up for email notifications about upcoming meetings by contacting the City Clerk's Office.
