Participation during hybrid meetings

The City Council will hear in-person public comments and is also providing remote oral and written public comment opportunities. All comments shall be respectful in tone and content. Providing written comments and registering for oral comments must be done by 2 p.m. the day of the meeting. Registration is required for remote comments and encouraged for in-person comments. Any requests to speak or provide written public comments which are not submitted following the instructions provided or by the deadline will not be included as part of the record. Instructions for providing comments are located at the following link: Council Meeting Virtual Meetings and Public Comments.

The following suggestions will assist you in presenting precise, well-organized comments:

• Speak directly to the City Council addressing issues and not individual Councilmembers, staff, or residents.

• Speak loud and clear so that your remarks will be audible on the recorder.

• Be courteous and polite.

• Purpose: What is the idea you wish to present? Begin with an "I" statement outlining your idea, such as "I am here to support/oppose/call attention to..."

• Reason: Why are you making this point? This is an important step so the Council is aware of the reasons for your concern.

• Summary: What condition will be changed or improved if your viewpoint is adopted?

• Action: State what you would like the City Council to do in response to your viewpoint.

Please note that the Mayor may terminate comments that continue beyond the allotted time, constitute a personal attack, are slanderous, or are otherwise inappropriate.

Please be advised that SeaTac City Council Meetings are recorded live and will air on Channel 21 - SeaTV, the City’s Government Access Channel and can also be viewed on the City’s website at www.seatacwa.gov. Also, Council will not respond to your questions or comments during the meeting, however, staff will look into any questions or concerns you have and will get back to you.

Please also be advised that members of the public and Council shall not give comments regarding a political candidate or a ballot proposition pursuant to RCW 42.17A.555, unless the exceptions to this rule are specifically followed. In the event anyone does begin making comments in violation of this statute, any member of this Council, City Clerk or the City Attorney may interrupt with a point of order in order to ensure compliance with State law.

We look forward to your participation.
