Public Engagement Opportunities
To participate in City of Irvine City Council or Commission meeting’s, members of the public who wish to speak in person may submit their name into the speakers kiosk located next to the City Clerk or Records Secretary. Additional kiosks are available in the main lobby.
For those who wish to participate virtually, visit zoom.us using any web browser, or the Zoom app on smartphones or tablets, and enter the Meeting ID and passcode. In lieu of using a computer, smartphone, or tablet, you may also dial in by calling 669-900-6833 or 346-248-7799, and entering the same Meeting ID and passcode.
The Meeting ID and passcode for the City Council Meeting, along with additional instructions, a tutorial, and helpful tips on using Zoom, are also available on our webpage at cityofirvine.org/ictv and selecting “City Council Meetings”
Those who wish to provide comments via Zoom are asked to enter the speaker queue by “raising their hand” electronically. The City Clerk or Recording Secretary will call your name and allow you to unmute your microphone at the appropriate time. Those dialing in by telephone will be identified by the last three digits of their telephone number. We ask that you please state your name for the record.
The time limit per speaker shall be established based on the number of requests to speak submitted before the first speaker is called.
However, these time limits may be shortened or extended, or a cumulative limit on the time for all public speakers may be imposed, at the discretion of the Mayor or by a majority vote of the City Council.
For those who wish to speak on multiple agenized items, the established time limit applies per item.
The City of Irvine also continues to offer the “e-comment” feature for all agenda items.
Those who wish to comment on matters before the City Council, in lieu of providing live testimony, may submit written comments by clicking “e-comment” on the City Council Meeting agenda webpage at cityofirvine.org/ictv. All comments will be provided to the City Council as part of the meeting record and will be uploaded to the City’s website.
Any “e-comments” received before, during or after discussion of these items will still be included as part of the official record.
For technical assistance with Zoom before or during the meeting, please call 949-724-6078. For any other questions or assistance, please contact the City Clerk’s Office at 949-724-6205 or via e-mail at clerk@cityofirvine.org.
