PUBLIC COMMENT
Public comment may be offered verbally at the meeting or in writing before the meeting.
Public comment is limited to three minutes, but the Mayor may adjust time limits for individual or total comments while ensuring all viewpoints are heard, encouraging speakers to avoid repetition, and allowing a designated spokesperson for organized support or opposition to present longer if needed.
Those attending remotely may only offer public comment for items on the agenda in one of four categories:
• Consent Calendar
• Other Business
• Public Hearings
• Closed Session
Public comment will be heard first from those attending in person, with the submission of a speaker card. Once that is complete, we will move to those on Zoom who have their hand raised. Following public comment from Zoom, we will close the public comment period for that item.
Remote public comment for items not on the agenda will not be accepted.
Written public comment may be submitted to the City Clerk:
• In person at the City Council Meeting;
• Via email to [email protected]; or
• Hand-delivered or mailed to the City Clerk at 17575 Peak Avenue, Morgan Hill, CA 95037
Please email your comments to the City Clerk no later than 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday (the day before the City Council meeting) so that your comments can be submitted to the members of the City Council with sufficient time to review them.

Public comments submitted to the City Clerk after noon (12:00 p.m.) the day of the meeting will be provided to the City Council as time allows.
