Public Comment

Overview

The City Council appreciates hearing from the public about items on its agenda or other City business. City business is considered something germane to the ongoing and regular operations of the City and/or topics which would routinely involve the government of the City of Mukilteo. If comments are made on non-City business, the Presiding Officer will request the speaker to redirect comments to a specific matter of City business one time, after which the speaker will be deemed out of order and their opportunity to provide public comment will be ended. Comments regarding items on the agenda will be taken when that agenda item is heard. Speakers are asked to state their name and city of residence for the record, and to limit their comments to three (3) minutes or less. In order to facilitate an orderly and productive public meeting, the City Council requests that remarks be made generally and all speakers should seek to be courteous in their language. The full City Council rules on public comments can be found in Rule 10.

The public can provide written public comment in advance of the meeting, verbal public comment in-person at the meeting, or via Zoom Webinar during the meeting. Public comment will be accepted during the "general public comments" section on the agenda, or during Business Items.
