Participate in Meetings

Public Comment

Any member of the public who wishes to participate in the Public Comment portion of the meeting agenda (Section 5), may choose one of the following methods:

  1. Submit written comments in advance via email by noon the day of the meeting. Written comments are forwarded to the City Council after the deadline and become part of the permanent record. Written comments are not read aloud during the meeting.
  2. Leave verbal comments in advance by calling 303-706-3111 by noon the day of the meeting. Recorded messages are limited to 3 minutes, and the system will disconnect automatically after the time limit is reached. All recorded messages are transcribed and attached to the agenda packet as part of the public record.
  3. Participate in person during the live City Council meetings. To speak in person, sign up is from 6:30 to 7:15 pm in City Hall's lobby. No advanced registration for in-person comment is required or permitted.

Within one business day, City staff will follow up with commenters on questions or requests for information made during Public Comment at City Council meetings. Additionally, by majority vote the City Council may put the issue on a future meeting agenda for further review.

*Please note, public comments submitted in writing may not be posted to the public website until after the meeting. City Council will receive them before the meeting begins. The city is working with the agenda vendor to improve the posting process.
