🗣️ City 101: How to give public comment

We're kicking off the Leave the Leaves campaign this summer by attending and speaking at several council and commission meetings this month. Join us on Monday, July 14th to try your hand at giving public comment. We’ll walk you through the sign up process and if you’re up for it, we’ll provide a script so you can get a feel for what it’s like to speak from the podium. If that’s not your jam and you’d like to just listen and observe, you can do that too! We’ll meet on the City Hall steps at 7:15 pm and go in as a group at 7:25 pm.If you can’t make the 14th, we’ll also be speaking to the Urban Forestry Commission on July 16th, and the Environmental Sustainability Council on July 17th. Same time and place!
