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 Comment Participation: If you wish to provide a live verbal comment during the meeting, attend the virtual meeting via your computer or call in.
Before Meeting:
- Alert the City Clerk’s Office. We ask that you please alert us that you will be joining the meeting to speak. Please email clerkoffice@cosb.org to let us know which item you will be speaking on. This allows our Staff to manage speakers more efficiently.
