Due to COVID-19 precautions, members of the public will not be able to attend the September 18, 2020,
Civil Service Commission meeting in-person. To accommodate and receive input for the public comment
agenda item, citizens will be able to participate in one of the following ways (NOTE: citizens are only able to
comment one time for the public comment agenda item; citizens cannot use both methods to comment on the
single agenda item).
•Virtual White Card – On September 14, 2020, the agenda was posted online at
www.cityofdenton.com/publicmeetings. A link to the Virtual White Card, an online form, is available under the
main heading on the webpage. Within this form, citizens may submit a brief comment for the public comment
agenda item. Comments may be submitted up until the start of the meeting, at which time, the Virtual White
Card form will be closed. Similar to when a citizen submits a white card to indicate their position on the item,
these comment forms will be sent directly to Civil Service Commission members and recorded by the
Secretary. Civil Service Commission members review comments received in advance of the meeting. The
Chair will announce the number of Comment Cards submitted. Comments will not be read during the meeting.
The Secretary will reflect the number of comments submitted, the registrant’s name, address, and (summary of)
comments within the Minutes of the Meeting, as applicable.
OR
•By phone – Citizens wishing to speak over the phone during this Civil Service Commission meeting may call
(940) 349-7800 beginning 30 minutes prior to the meeting start time. Comments by phone will be accepted
until the public comment item is opened for discussion by the Commission. When the call is initially received, a
staff member will receive the caller’s information and either: 1) offer to call the citizen back when it is time for
them to speak, or 2) record the caller’s information and comment. If the caller chooses to record their
comment, rather than speaking during the meeting, the Chair will announce the number of comments submitted.
If the caller wishes to receive a call back, the voice of each caller will be broadcast into the meeting during the
public comment agenda item.
