PUBLIC COMMENT

The Public Comment period is your opportunity to speak to the Council and Mayor on issues that relate to the city of Kent or to agenda items Council will consider. This is not an open public forum and comments that do not relate to the business of the city of Kent are not permitted. Additionally, the state of Washington strictly prohibits people from using this public comment opportunity for political campaign purposes, including to support or oppose a ballot measure or any candidate for public office. Speakers may not give political campaign speeches but must instead speak concerning a matter on the City Council's agenda or matters concerning the general business of the City of Kent. Further, in providing public comment, speakers must address the Mayor and Council as a whole; remarks intended to target an individual on the dais are not permitted. Finally, please note that this public comment opportunity is for you to provide information to the Mayor and City Council that you would like us to consider, but we will not be able to answer questions during the meeting itself.
