In-person or at a virtual meeting
Testify in-person at a budget listening session or hearing
- Attend a Community Listening Session or Budget Hearing for an opportunity to comment in-person or at a live virtual meeting.
- The time limit for live comments is usually two minutes per person.
- At some meetings more residents want to comment than time allows. It is a good idea to bring written comments to budget meetings in case you do not have the chance to comment. Only one copy is necessary, as written comments submitted to staff at the meeting will be distributed to all members of City Council.
