Note: if a holiday falls on the Monday of a Council meeting, the meeting is then held on Tuesday.

There are two public comments periods included on the agenda. Anyone wishing to address the City Council may come forward when invited; state your name and address for the record. Public comments are typically limited to three minutes and written comments may be submitted to the City Clerk. Special instructions for public comments will be provided at the meeting if a public hearing or quasi-judicial matter is scheduled on the agenda. If there are items the public wishes to bring to Council that will take longer than three minutes, it is preferred the citizen present this topic to the City Administrator so he can determine if the matter should be scheduled it into a regular meeting.

The Historic Trust and Humanities Washington partner to present a discussion with Michael Goldsby.

Polarized politics have turned Americans against their fellow Americans. Pew reports that Americans’ contempt for opposing parties is “broader and deeper than in the recent past.” What are we to do?

Professor Michael Goldsby discusses a simple solution: get off social media and back into bars (or tasting rooms or coffee shops or even bowling alleys). Unlike social media, face-to-face meetings over a tasty beverage encourage finding a common ground and allow us to connect to one another in a more authentic, focused, and empathetic manner. If we are to take the marketplace of ideas seriously as a cornerstone of democracy, then achieving common ground is necessary. So, join us for drink and do your part to save democracy.

Michael Goldsby (he/him) is a beer enthusiast and associate professor of philosophy in the School of Politics, Philosophy, and Public Affairs at Washington State University. He earned his PhD in the philosophy of science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is also a part of the Columbia FEW Storage Project, a team of researchers testing innovations to ensure food, energy, and water security in the Columbia River Basin throughout the 21st century and beyond. Goldsby lives in Pullman.
