All Bethlehem City Council meetings take place in the Town Hall Rotunda Building at 10 East Church Street and are generally held on the first and third Tuesday of each month, starting at 7:00 PM. Depending on holidays and election days, some meetings occur on Wednesdays or earlier in the night. Please check dates and times for individual meetings.
 
PUBLIC COMMENT INSTRUCTIONS. Based on current COVID cases in the Lehigh Valley, Bethlehem City Council currently accepts public comment over the phone during the public comment period.

To sign up to comment by phone, email the City Clerk’s office at cityclerk@bethlehem-pa.gov or call (610) 865-7130 by 2:00 PM on the meeting date. You may also call when the Council President announces they will take phone comments.
 
ORDER OF SPEAKING: Those physically present in Town Hall will have the first opportunity to speak followed by signed-up phone commenters, and finally, phone commenters that did not sign up ahead of the meeting.  If you are signed up to speak by phone, the Council President will call you from (610) 997-7963. After signed-up speakers comment, the President will ask whether anyone else would like to call into the meeting.
