 To encourage participation in City Council and other public meetings, the City of Santa Rosa has online tools available so residents can view or listen to public meetings and provide public comment on agenda items from the Comfort of Home. These meeting tools and more are available at srcity.org. If you would like to be a part of the discussion in an upcoming meeting, there are up to four options you can choose from to provide public comment in advance. Via email, via voicemail, or via the online meeting calendar's e-comment feature, or in real time during the live meeting via Zoom. Please select only one of these options to make your public comment. To submit public comment via email, simply email your comment before the submission deadline to the address listed in the meeting agenda. In the subject line, include the agenda date and item number that your comment relates to. In the body of the email, include your full name and your comment in 400 words or less. You can also submit a public comment via voicemail. Just refer to the meeting agenda for the phone number and record your comment in 3 minutes or less. On your voicemail, please include your name, the meeting, the agenda item number that your comment relates to, and your comment before the submission deadline identified on the agenda. Meeting agendas can be found at srcity.org slash public comment. For city council meetings only, you can also submit public comment online through the e-comment feature. First, go to the website shown on the screen. Next, select the meeting and click on the hyperlinked e-comment text. You will be prompted to register or log in to submit an e-comment. Once you have, click on the comment icon next to the agenda item on which you wish to provide your comment. Select a position. Provide your comment in 2500 characters or less. When complete, click submit. Once submitted, your e-comment will be viewable to the public through the end of the meeting. E-comments will be read when the agenda item is discussed. If you would like to provide public comment in real time during a meeting, you will need to tune in to the meeting via Zoom. To access the meeting, you may either click on the Zoom hyperlink on the meeting agenda, or alternatively, open the Zoom app if it is installed on your device. Or, in your browser, go to zoom.us slash join. Click join and enter the meeting ID. The meeting ID is also available on the meeting's agenda found at srcity.org slash public comment. As you are watching the meeting with Zoom, the opportunity for live public comment will be announced for each agenda item. To submit your comment, simply use the raise hand feature. Or, if you are participating from a phone, dial star 9 to raise your hand. The meeting host will go through raised hands one by one. It will be your turn to comment when the meeting host addresses you. When it is your turn to comment, in three minutes or less, clearly state your name, the agenda item number, and your public comment. If you complete your comment before the three minutes, you may announce that you have completed your comment to signal moving to the next public commenter. Also, it is worth noting if you ask questions within your public comment, you will not receive a direct and immediate response per adopted meeting protocols. We hope you will join us at an upcoming meeting to have your voice heard on important topics and projects impacting the city. For future meeting details including dates, times, and online access, and to make a public comment, please visit the city's meeting calendar at srcity.org slash public comment.
