Public Comment Card

The City Council meeting is your opportunity to participate with your elected representatives on matters pertaining to City business. The Council is interested in and supports the exchange of ideas with the public. Your comments, questions and suggestions are important. Through public participation the City of McMinnville has achieved better project and development outcomes.

Public Comment is an opportunity for visitors to address the Council on any matter concerning the City's business or any matter over which the Council has control. It is also the time to address items that are on the agenda but not scheduled for a public hearing. Staff and the City Council will make every effort to respond to questions raised during public comment  before tonight's meeting ends or as quickly as possible thereafter. Please limit your comments to four minutes.

Public hearings are scheduled toward the beginning of the Council agenda. There are two types of public hearings; legislative and quasi-judicial (land use). The Mayor will open the public hearing, read the appropriate hearing format. City staff and the applicant (in the case of land use) will give a report on the matter, and then the Mayor will ask for testimony from proponents, opponents, and those who are neutral. After the public testimony is completed, the applicant has the opportunity to answer questions, clarify or rebut comments made during the hearing. The Mayor will close the public hearing and Council will begin their discussion and deliberation on the matter. Please limit your comments to three minutes.

For either method listed above, you must complete the speaker card below. Registration OPENS at 5:00 p.m. the day the agenda is posted, ONE WEEK before the meeting, and CLOSES at 12:00 p.m. the day before the meeting (any form submitted outside this window will not be addressed.) Speakers will be recognized on a first-come, first-served basis.
