How to Participate Remotely

1. Scroll down to find the upcoming City Council meeting at which you wish to speak, then select "Register" and indicate the item(s) on which you wish to provide comments.
   If you provide an email address when registering, you will receive a confirmation email.
   Important:

   Advance registration using the same phone number that you will use to call into the meeting is strongly recommended. To help ensure a smooth check-in process and avoid delays, please register and call in using the same phone number. Registering during the meeting or calling from a different phone number may delay verification and could result in missing the opportunity to provide public comment before your item is considered.

   Additionally, if you call using *67 or from a private or blocked number, your phone number will not be available for verification. As a result, you will automatically be placed in the listener queue rather than the speaker queue. To avoid delays and ensure you are placed in the appropriate queue, please dial *82 before calling to unblock your number.

2. At the start of the meeting, call (949) 776-5172 and enter meeting code 4516. Participants who selected "Call my phone when the meeting starts" during registration will receive an automated call when the meeting begins and do not need to dial in manually.
3. After joining the meeting, remain on the line and listen until your name is called. No additional phone prompts or actions are required.
4. When the Mayor calls your item, and it is your turn to speak, City staff will unmute your line and invite you to provide your comments.

Thank you for participating in the City Council meeting process. Community engagement is an important part of transparent and informed local government.
