This page is your hub for City Council, commissions, and other public meetings—where the city conducts business in an open and transparent way. This page includes: (1) a general explanation of the public meeting process, (2) ways to provide oral or written public comment in-person or remotely, (3) a calendar of all public meeting dates (date, time, and location), and (4) access to posted agendas.

Public meetings allow community members to observe and provide input before action is taken. Meetings generally include a call to order, public comment, agenda items, and adjournment. Meeting agendas are posted in advance—at least 72 hours before regular meetings and 24 hours before special meetings.

How to Watch a City Council or Planning Commission Meeting Online

Public Meetings are broadcast live on this webpage and streamed via Zoom. Individuals wishing to provide verbal public comment remotely must join via Zoom.

• Watch a Live Meeting in Zoom: Click the ‘Join via Zoom’ link included at the top of each meeting agenda.  All attendees are view-only participants who will be muted.
• Watch a Broadcast or Live Stream: City Council meetings are broadcast live via Civic Clerk.

Providing Public Comment During Live City Council Meetings

Process: The Mayor will call for public comment, the Clerk will then ask for all of those wishing to speak in person to turn in their speaker cards or, if attending remotely, remotely to raise a "hand" via Zoom. The Clerk will then announce how many speakers, and the Mayor will announce if there will be an adjustment to the amount of time per speaker based on the number of speakers. In-person speakers will provide comments first, followed by remote speakers.

• During the meeting by Zoom: Find the agenda for the meeting you wish to attend below and click the Zoom link at the top of the agenda to join the meeting. All attendees are muted by default. To speak, press the “Raise Your Hand” icon and you will be called on at the appropriate time.
• During the meeting by telephone: Call 1 (669) 900-6833 and enter the Webinar ID found at the top of the meeting agenda. When the item of interest is open for consideration, select *9 to raise your hand. When called upon, press *6 to unmute, state your name, and provide your comment.
• In-Person: Complete a “Speaker Card” form available during the meeting and give it to the City Clerk.

Note: Time limits will be observed.

Provide Written Comments Prior to a Meeting

Members of the public who wish to provide a public comment via email should send an email to the appropriate email address listed on the agenda.
