Reading Time: 1 minute

Due to the restrictions on gatherings in response to COVID-19, in-person participation at the County Board of Supervisors meetings on Tuesday, May 19 and Wednesday, May 20 will not be permitted. The public can watch the meetings live online or on television, and submit eComments or speak via teleconference.

The restrictions were first put in place following the governor’s March 19 directive for everyone in the State of California to stay home.

Comment

Typically, members of the public can use the eComment service to submit comments on agenda and non-agenda items until the beginning of the meeting. At this time, eComments can also be submitted during the meeting.

Those who want to participate in the meeting and speak via teleconference must fill out the online Board of Supervisors tele-comments form and submit it by 8:30 a.m. the day of the meeting. After submitting the form, you will receive instructions on how to call in to the meeting to provide your comments.

Large groups wishing to comment on a common item are encouraged to submit comments in writing or to identify one spokesperson to join the teleconference on behalf of the group.

Additionally, Board members may be attending the meeting via teleconference or phone conference and will conduct business as usual.
