The Blaine City Council and other boards and commissions will continue to meet. However, the meetings will not be held at Blaine City Hall. All meetings will be held virtually until further notice. There are multiple ways for the public to still participate in the meetings before and during the actual meeting.
Public Comment Before a MeetingCity staff has developed a public comment process for virtual meetings. A public comment email address, PublicComment@BlaineMN.gov, and phone number, 763-717-2782, allow individuals to submit comments prior to a meeting. Those comment boxes are available until noon on the day of the meeting. The comments will be compiled and delivered to the Blaine City Council or the appropriate commission or advisory board.
Public Comment During a Meeting
During the meeting, members of the public who wish to comment during public comment periods will be asked to join the meeting on the Zoom webinar platform. Meeting attendees will be able to click the raise hand button, this will alert city staff that an individual wishes to comment. When it is time for comments, individuals will be recognized and their microphones will be enabled allowing them to comment. Zoom meeting information can be found in the calendar notification and on the agenda for each meeting. For more information and to view the meeting calendar, visit BlaineMN.gov/CityMeetings.

Responsibilities
As the elected representatives of the people, the Blaine City Council is the policy making body of the city. The Blaine City Council is composed of six councilmembers and the Mayor. Though voting equally with the other six councilmembers, the Mayor is the presiding officer at council meetings and is the official representative of the city. Two councilmembers are elected from each council ward on staggered four year terms. The Mayor's position, a four year term, is elected by the entire city.
The city is comprised of three council wards and 24 voting precincts. Regular city elections are held each August and November in even numbered years. The Blaine City Council, as a body, implement all policies exclusively through City Manager Michelle Wolfe. The city council does not perform any of the day-to-day administrative work of the city, themselves.
