Dear Neighbors,
Public comment is back—and now it’s online and by phone.
Public comment is an opportunity to speak in front of City Council on any topic. Before the pandemic began, public comment was held Wednesday evenings prior to City Council A session meetings. Due to the pandemic, these in person meetings were cancelled. Since then, I have advocated for the City to reintroduce public comment and to offer the opportunity for remote participation.
