The work to modernize Council Chambers, an important hub supporting the City of Tacoma’s ongoing efforts to better serve residents, businesses, and community partners, is complete.

Starting July 9, the City Council’s noon study sessions and 5 PM meetings will once again take place on Tuesdays as scheduled in Council Chambers (Tacoma Municipal Building, 747 Market St., 1st Floor).

The project installed a conference table in front of the dais to facilitate face-to-face conversations between City leaders and those who join them for study sessions and regular meetings. While this update will require the removal of the first two rows of chairs, the City hopes to deepen its conversations and allow the Council and other groups who use the space to conduct business more effectively by providing an option to bring everyone to the table.  

Renovations also include new camera and telecommunications equipment that will improve the experience for viewers watching the TV Tacoma broadcast of Council meetings and the online live streaming.

These meetings will continue to be conducted in a hybrid format, with virtual and in-person options to attend. The meetings can also be viewed live on TV Tacoma, or tvtacoma.com, and on Facebook Live, at facebook.com/cityoftacoma.
