Bismarck, N.D. – The Bismarck City Commission is scheduled to hold its next meeting on Tuesday, April 8, at 5:15 p.m. in the Tom Baker Room of the City-County Building, located at 221 North Fifth Street.

Among the items on the agenda are updates on two major infrastructure and community development efforts: the Tyler Parkway project and Misty Waters. The commission is also set to recognize graduates of the Citizen Academy, a local initiative aimed at fostering public engagement and awareness of city government operations.

The meeting will be open to the public, and citizens are encouraged to participate, especially in matters listed for public hearing. The city has asked residents wishing to submit comments to do so via email at [email protected]. All submitted comments referencing agenda items will be forwarded to the commissioners and included in the official meeting minutes. To ensure timely consideration, comments must be submitted by 3:30 p.m. on the day of the meeting and include the relevant item number.

The agenda is expected to address ongoing efforts in infrastructure planning and neighborhood development. The Tyler Parkway update may provide insights into progress or changes related to the city’s transportation network, while Misty Waters—believed to involve residential or community development near the Missouri River—remains a point of interest among residents and planners alike.

The Citizen Academy, also on the agenda, offers local residents a behind-the-scenes look at city operations. Graduation from this program marks the completion of a series of sessions designed to build transparency, understanding, and trust between city government and the public.

Agendas and additional meeting materials can typically be found on the City of Bismarck’s official website prior to each commission meeting. For those unable to attend in person, the meeting may be livestreamed or made available afterward through the city’s communication channels.

The Bismarck City Commission meets regularly to discuss matters that shape city policy, growth, and services, and community participation remains a valued part of the decision-making process.
