City of Fresno
Public information
The City of Fresno encourages public participation at every meeting of its boards, commissions, and committees. You may take part in person, online or by phone, or by submitting written comment in advance.
In person
Attend at the location listed on the agenda. A speaker card is available at the entrance — submit it to the Clerk before your item is called. Each speaker is generally allotted up to three minutes.
Online via Zoom or by phone
Watch the live stream from any meeting page. To comment remotely, join the Zoom web-conference link posted with the agenda and use “Raise Hand” to be called on when your item comes up. If you can’t use Zoom, you can also call (559) 621-7777 and enter the meeting ID. Lines open 15 minutes before the meeting.
eComment (per agenda item)
Submit a comment on a specific agenda item online through eComment. Open the meeting from the calendar, then use the eComment link in the meeting details to register your position and remarks on each item. eComment opens once the agenda is published and closes shortly before the meeting.
Written comment
Email cityclerk@fresno.gov with the meeting date and item number by 5:00 p.m. the day before the meeting. Comments received are distributed to members and entered into the record.
Comment guidelines
Comment is limited to matters within the body’s jurisdiction. The presiding officer may adjust speaking time so everyone who wishes to speak is heard. Conduct that disrupts the meeting is not permitted.
