Chattanooga, Tenn. (April 16, 2025) - Chattanooga Mayor Tim Kelly invites
residents to participate in the next Open Office Hours event. Mayor Kelly
launched this initiative after taking office in 2021 to offer residents a
regular opportunity to meet with him and his staff face-to-face, share
concerns, and help guide the direction of city policy and resources.
“Our residents are the best source of insight we have,” said Mayor Tim
Kelly. “These Open Office Hours are an opportunity for us to hear directly
from the people we serve. Every conversation shapes how we lead, where we
invest, and how we grow as a city.”
Mayor Tim Kelly’s next Open Office Hours will take place on Monday, May 5,
from 1:00 to 4:30 p.m. at the East Lake Community Center, located at 3610
Dodds Ave., Chattanooga, TN 37407. The meetings are open to Chattanooga
city residents only, and appointments must be requested in advance. Those
interested in meeting with the mayor, or a member of his staff can request
an appointment by visiting cha.city/openoffice or calling 423-643-7814.
Each participant will be able to select a preferred 20-minute time slot and
will be asked to provide their name, address, contact information, and a
brief description of the topic they’d like to discuss. Slots are limited
and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. A staff member will
reach out in advance to confirm all appointments.
