Public Comment for City Council Meetings

How to Submit Written Public Comment before the Meeting

Members of the public are encouraged to submit public comments in writing in advance of the meeting via the eComment. Comments received will be distributed to the City Council and posted online. All comments will be included as part of the meeting record but will not be read aloud during the meeting.

Public Comment Portal (eComment)

Public Comment Portal

This online feature enables residents to select an upcoming agenda item, indicate position and submit written comment. When the meeting's agenda is published, an eComment link appears next to the agenda link on City Council meeting's agenda page or click on the above portal link. eComments are also directly sent to the iLegislate application used by City Council and staff.

How to Provide Public Comment during the Meeting

Comments are limited to three (3) minutes per speaker.

During a meeting, comments can only be made in person: Complete a Digital Speaker Card located at the entrance to the Council Chambers. Be sure to indicate the Agenda Item # you wish to address or the topic of your public comment. When your name is called, please come to the podium, state your name and address (optional) for the Minutes.
