Speaker slips may not be turned in prior to the meeting date or after completion of in-person testimony. In-person testimony shall conclude before virtual testimony begins.
Each person who wishes to address the Council shall approach the podium and state who they are representing if representing an organization or another person.
Virtual Non-Agenda Public Comment
Speakers who wish to provide virtual Non-Agenda Public Comment must enter the virtual queue by raising their virtual hands before the queue closes. The queue will close when the last virtual speaker finishes speaking or five minutes after in-person testimony ends, whichever happens first. Those participating virtually may not share video or visual aids (i.e. pdf, ppt, docs) during their non-agenda comment period.
Please note: On Tuesdays, Non-Agenda Public Comment is taken during the 10am session, but some Non-Agenda Public Comment may be trailed, at the Council President’s discretion for meeting management purposes.
Comment on Agenda Items, Non-Agenda Public Comment, and Closed Session Public Comment may also be submitted using the webform indicating the comment type and item number (if relevant) for which you wish to submit your comment. Comments received by 8:00 AM the day of the meeting will be distributed to the City Council and posted online with the meeting materials. All webform comments are limited to 500 words but may include attachments. Comments received after 8:00 AM the day of the meeting but before the item is called will be submitted into the written record for the relevant item.
Written Materials. Instead of submitting written materials as an attachment to the webform you may submit via U.S. Mail to the City Clerk’s attention at 202 C Street, MS2A San Diego, CA 92101. Materials submitted via U.S. Mail must be received no later than one business day prior to the meeting to be distributed to the City Council.
