In an ongoing effort to increase public participation at City Council meetings under current State and County public heath orders, the City is providing some alternate participation options during Zoom Council meetings. In order to effectively manage this process, instructions have been established and are outlined below.
Written correspondence (supplemental items) regarding an agenda item at an open session meeting should be submitted to the City Clerk's Office at
clerkoffice@cosb.org with a) Subject line to include the meeting date b) Include the Agenda Item # as listed on the Agenda.
- Correspondence received after the official posting of the agenda, but before 3:00 p.m. (or 3 hrs. prior to the meeting start time) on the meeting day, will be distributed to Council and made available online along with the agenda posting. All submittals received before the start of the meeting will be made part of the record.
- Written submittals will be added to the record and not read out loud.
- The designated location for viewing supplemental documents is on the City's website www.cityofsolanabeach.org on the posted Agenda under the relative Agenda Item.
Verbal Comments during Meeting
If you wish to provide a live verbal comment during the meeting, register for the Zoom Virtual (City Council Meeting) Webinar (registration required).
REGISTER as a speaker on meeting day by 3:00 p.m. (or 3 hrs. prior to the start of the meeting time) by going to the link on the meeting's
agenda and follow the required prompts to receive a confirmation email with your login link.
- Join the meeting 30 minutes before the meeting begins by clicking on the link provided in your confirmation email to ensure you can connect, update your Zoom version, and to check you sound with the organizer.
- Speaking participants may use the computer's microphone and speakers to listen and communicate or they may also call into the meeting by dialing into the meeting with a telephone (this information will be provided in your email confirmation). If you call in as well for better audio, mute your computer's speakers to eliminate feedback.
- Participants will be called upon from those who have submitted the Speaker Request, registered, and logged on as described above. You will be called on by name and unmuted by the meeting organizer and may provide comments for the allotted time. Allotted speaker times are listed under each Agenda section.
