All meetings of the Clayton Town Council are public meetings and citizens are invited to attend. Public hearings and evidentiary hearings may be scheduled during a public meeting; however each hearing functions differently:

Public hearing, also known as legislative hearing, occurs when an agenda item has been advertised and noticed according to the law thus allowing persons to come before the Council to state their view. After receiving public comment, the item is turned over to the Council for discussion and action.
Evidentiary hearing, also known as quasi-judicial hearing, occurs when an agenda item has been advertised and noticed according to the law; however, the Council acts like a court of law. During an evidentiary hearing, the Council receives only sworn testimony and other credible evidence. In addition, the Council must make findings of fact based upon the evidence presented. Citizens may give testimony in an evidentiary hearing after they have taken an oath.
