The public is encouraged to attend Metro Council meetings. Every council meeting includes a citizen communications agenda item to provide an opportunity for comments on topics that are not on the agenda.
Metro Council meetings are cablecast live on the regional Community Access Network, Tualatin Valley Television (TVC TV) cable channel 11. Most households with cable service in the Portland metropolitan area receive channel 11. The meetings are replayed on local community and government access channels at various times throughout the week.
