The Fergus Falls City Council is a Home Rule Charter city.  The council is comprised of the Mayor and 8 Council Members, 2 representing each ward of the city. 

The City Council hold regular meetings on the first and third Monday of the month at 5:30 pm in the City Council Chambers, located at 112 W Washington Avenue.  If the date falls on a holiday, the meeting is moved to Tuesday.   View the 2024 meeting calendar here.  All meetings are televised on the local PEG Access channel as well as on the city's YouTube channel.

Additionally the Wednesday prior to the council meetings, there is a Committee of the Whole meeting at 7:00 am in the City Council Chambers.   These sessions are designed to begin conversations that will happen on a future council meeting.   The council will make recommendations at this meeting as to what items will move to the council to act upon. 

Members of the public who would like to speak at a City Council meeting will be recognized during the open forum which held near the beginning of the City Council meeting.   Speakers are limited to three minutes to address an issue that is not already on the agenda.  Learn more about the Open Forum Policy.
