“Thank you for your comments.

Your comments will be shared with the City Commission and appropriate staff for consideration at the upcoming work session.  A special work session meeting regarding this topic is scheduled for September 8th from 5:30 to 8:30 pm in the Commission Chambers Room 206, Civic Center, 2 Park Drive South.

Due to the COVID-19 health concerns, public participation is welcomed as follows:

  • Attend in person. Refrain from attending in person if you are not feeling well.  The City will require social distancing at the meeting, and may, if necessary, limit the number of persons in the Commission Chambers according to applicable health guidelines.
  • **Provide public comments in writing or via email. Comments may be sent in writing to City Clerk Lisa Kunz, P.O. Box 5021, Great Falls, MT  59403, or via email to commission@greatfallsmt.net so that it is received before 12:00 PM on Tuesday, September 8, 2020.  Written communication received by that time will be shared with the City Commission and appropriate City staff for consideration before the work session, and will be so noted in the official record of the meeting.

    The only reason they want more laws is to silence those that know what the God of heaven says about the matter! There are already laws to protect the sin they choose. Even then, none of us will escape standing before that great judge someday. This is just more unneeded rules and laws! We have enough!
