My councilor holds maybe two of these town-hall-like community meetings per term.

First problem - it's held by the councillor. Second problem, it's held less than once a year.

As noted by Low Income below, these kinds of events are too often held with the agenda already written. They're not really interested in what people have to say (that's a messy business), but they need it for PR purposes. So they hold a big meeting and everyone walks away frustrated.

The point has to be giving people a voice, and that has to be the prime motivation of the organization and organizers. Anything else and people tend to catch on pretty quick.
