Requirements for participation in-person or by e-mail are also listed below.

The latest City Council agendas can be found here.

Capacity in the main meeting room will be limited to the first 50 attendees. No standing room will be provided. After the limit is met, attendees will be asked to sign up for public comment on the item they are interested in. They will then be directed to a location on site to view/listen to the meeting until called upon to speak.

After members of the public make their comments at the podium, they will be asked to return to the area where they were originally participating in the meeting.
