Remote Participation
Morgan Hill City Council meetings are held in person. The community may attend in person or via Zoom (video/teleconference). The meetings are also live-streamed on the City’s website and Facebook page.
As a courtesy, and technology permitting, members of the public may attend online.
However, the City cannot guarantee that the public’s access to online technology will be uninterrupted, and technical difficulties may occur from time to time. Unless required by the Ralph M. Brown Act, the meeting will continue despite technical difficulties for participants using the online option.
Those wishing to participate in the meetings remotely must register in advance at https://bit.ly/CityCouncilZoomRegistration. Additionally, Zoom participants must be running the latest version or will be required to update to it before joining the meeting remotely.
Remote participation is also available by calling (669) 900-9128 and entering webinar ID: 873 3200 8380#. Dial *9 to raise your hand, and be called upon to speak for up to 3 minutes. Dial *6 to unmute.
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.
June 24, 2026
3 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. You may continue to provide written comments up to noon on Wednesday (the day of the meeting), although Council Members may not have sufficient time to review them before the meeting.
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.
Written comments WILL NOT be read aloud during the City Council Meeting. Please note that written comments are posted on the City's website. It is recommended that you do not include any personal information that you do not want to be posted on the web. Please be advised that communications directed to the City Council are public records and are subject to disclosure pursuant to the California Public Records Act and Brown Act unless exempt from disclosure under the applicable law. Communications will NOT be edited for redactions and will be printed/posted as submitted.
