How to Participate
Public Comment
In-Person Comment
Members of the public may address the Board in-person to make a public comment. Facemasks and social distancing are required while inside the County Administration Center and Board Chambers. Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Individuals addressing the Board must complete and submit a public comment speaker request form to Clerk staff. The Chairperson will invite each individual to the podium to make a verbal comment during the public comment period for each agenda item or off-agenda matter.
Overflow seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
If seating is not available inside Chambers or overflow rooms, individuals will be allowed to form a line in the designated area and make a public comment and will be required to exit the Chambers after making a public comment. Due to limited seating capacity and public safety protocols, individuals will not be permitted to stand in lieu of sitting inside the Chambers.
Phone Comment
Make a verbal public comment during a meeting. The public comment phone line will open 15 minutes prior to the start of the meeting. Refer to the agenda and listen to the live meeting to determine when is the best time to call to be placed in queue to make a public comment. Callers may be on hold for up to an extended period of time and should plan accordingly. Dial (916) 875-2500 and follow the prompts to be placed in queue for a specific agenda item or off-agenda matter. When the Chair opens public comment for a specific agenda item or off-agenda matter, callers will be transferred from the queue into the meeting to make a verbal comment. Each agenda item queue will remain open until the public comment period is closed for that specific item.
