Providing Public Input
Providing Public Input by e-mail:
We ask that if you possibly can, submit your public comments by email by the start of the
meeting to the email address listed on the agenda. These will be read per city council rules and
time limits*. Email must be received by the start of public input at the meeting and will only
be taken during the public input portion of the agenda.
Providing Public Input from a computer browser or the Zoom app on a mobile device:
· The link to join by computer is listed on the agenda.
· You do not need to install software on a computer to use Zoom. You can click “Join
from your browser.” It appears Zoom prefers for users to download and install their
meeting client software on your computer. Choose the option you are comfortable with
and note, these may be browser specific. There is a Zoom app for smartphones.
· Make sure you have a microphone on your computer if you wish to speak. Please
identify yourself with first and last name in Zoom for the record if you wish to speak*.
FCC Guidelines will be followed.
· Please turn-off any sound from other sources such as UPTV or cable, as there will be a
lag in the audio if you are also watching the meeting. You should see the meeting video
stream through Zoom, see the staff presentation slides, and hear people talking.
· We will be muting participants except during public input, when they will be recognized
to speak after raising their hand (see the next bullet point). Video will remain off for all
members of the public, even while they are speaking.
· Per council rules you must identify yourself to provide public input with your first and
last name*. During Public Input, if you wish to speak, please “Raise your hand” using the

Providing Public Input by phone:
· Please turn-off the sound from watching the meeting on the TV or streaming service,
as there will be a lag in the audio. Join by calling the phone number shown in the
agenda.
· Callers will then be asked to enter the Meeting ID number followed by the # key. The
Meeting ID number is listed on the agenda.
· All callers are muted by default.
· If you wish to speak, please “Raise your hand” by pressing *9 once - this toggles the
raise/lower hand option. When called on by the chair or host by your phone number,
you will be un-muted and you should state your name for the record per city
code*. When you are done, the host will “lower your hand” and mute you - there is no
need to press any more buttons.
As a reminder, public input can be received and is encouraged before the meeting via email as
listed above. The video recording will be available on UPTV’s YouTube channel and via the
Meetings Calendar on the city’s website, usually by the following day at noon.
This is a work in progress, a learning situation for all involved, so we ask for your patience as we
move forward. We are unable to provide computer and technical assistance and will move
forward during the meeting as necessary. Thank you for your understanding in this difficult
situation.
