You can use a phone or an internet enabled device (computer, laptop, tablet, etc.) to participate in the meeting. Siskiyou Media Council is working hard to provide the meeting on their channels.

  • As always, there is an option to submit a public comment in writing which will be read during the public comment section. We ask that you drop the comment in the drop box by the front door to city hall by 5:00 pm Wednesday, April 1st.

Note regarding microphones - microphones will be muted except during the public comment sections of the agenda. There will be a time for you to speak should you wish to speak.
