Since no formal actions are taken, public input is usually reserved for official meetings where votes or policies are considered. However, members of the public are welcome to attend and observe the session.

The purpose of a work session is to allow for in- depth discussions, planning, and collaboration without the need for formal votes or public debate. Unlike regular meetings, work sessions typically do not include a public comment period because they are meant for internal discussion and information-gathering rather than decision-making. Since no formal actions are taken, public input is usually reserved for official meetings where votes or policies are considered. However, members of the public are welcome to attend and observe the session.
