Public Meetings

Please note that emailed comments will NOT be read aloud by staff during the meeting. 

Written: All comments received before 3:00 p.m. the day of the meeting will be posted on the City’s website as “Correspondence” under the relevant agenda item and provided to the City Councilmembers prior to the meeting.

• Email comments to cityclerk@cityofconcord.org.
• If you are commenting on a particular item on the agenda, please identify the agenda item number and letter.
• If you are commenting on an item not listed on the agenda, please identify your comment as a General Public Comment.

To Participate in Public Comment During the Meeting:

In-Person Comments: Blue Speaker Identification Cards are located near the Council Chamber entrance. Please complete a Speaker Card and give it to the City Clerk prior to the agenda item you wish to speak on and preferably prior to the start of the Council meeting. When the Mayor opens a public comment period, the City Clerk will call speakers to provide comment in the order the Speaker Cards are received. Should you have any questions after consulting the Speaker Identification Card, please contact the City Clerk prior to the Council meeting. 

Live Remote Public Comments: Members of the public may submit a live remote public comment via Zoom video conferencing. Download the Zoom mobile app from the Apple Appstore or Google Play. If you are using a desktop computer, you can test your connection to Zoom by clicking here. Make sure that you have a working microphone, and if you want to be seen during your comments, a web camera. Zoom also allows you to join the meeting by phone.
