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. The City Clerk will announce each speaker. When called to speak, please step up to the podium, state your name and city of residence for the record, and then state your comments. You will have up to three minutes to provide comment. Public Comment may be provided orally at the meeting, or submitted in writing, either by emailing the City Clerk by 4 p.m. on the day of the meeting at CityClerk@kentwa.gov or delivering the writing to the City Clerk at the meeting. If you will have difficulty attending the meeting by reason of disability, limited mobility, or any other reason that makes physical attendance difficult, and need accommodation in order to provide oral comment remotely, please contact the City Clerk by 4 p.m. on the day of the meeting at 253-856-5725 or CityClerk@kentwa.gov. Alternatively, you may email the Mayor and Council at Mayor@KentWA.gov and CityCouncil@KentWA.gov. Emails are not read into the record.
