Register to Speak

Thank you for your interest in participating in public comment. Please review the following guidelines before completing your registration. This will help ensure the meeting is fair, respectful, and efficient for all participants.

Time Limit

Each speaker is allowed up to 2 minutes. A visible timer will be used, and microphones will mute automatically when time is up.

Please note: Time may not be donated or transferred to other speakers. Each individual is allowed to speak only during the time slot for which they personally registered.

Speaker Scheduling & Check-In

Public comment will be scheduled in hourly blocks. When registering, you will select the block of time during which you wish to speak and whether you will be speaking virtually or in person.

Virtual participation is encouraged. If you are attending virtually, please be logged in during your selected block and use the “Raise Hand” feature to indicate you’d like to speak. You will be called in the order received and unmuted when it’s your turn.

In-person speakers are encouraged to arrive at the County Chambers at least 10 minutes before the start of their selected block. If you are not present when your name is called, you may forfeit your opportunity to speak.

Chambers Limited to Public Speakers; Alternative Viewing Options

Due to space limitations, the Chambers will only be open to registered in-person speakers during each hour block.

All other members of the public including those registered to speak during a future hour block, will be able to watch the meeting via livestream in nearby County conference rooms and a designated meeting room at the Eldordado Hotel next door.

In addition, members of the public can watch the proceedings online, via Microsoft Teams or Facebook and YouTube.

Swearing In

All speakers, whether attending in person or virtually, must be sworn in.
