Opportunity for public comment is provided at each regular board meeting. 

Please keep in mind that start times for agenda items are approximate. Attendees wishing to provide testimony during public input or a public hearing are encouraged to be present when the meeting is called to order. While EWEB board meetings generally begin at 5:30 pm, start times can vary. Please be sure to check the agenda to confirm the start time for each meeting.

Each person will have up to three minutes to speak, though the Board President may adjust speaking time as needed. The President will announce the speaking time at the start of the public input session.

EWEB’s Code of Conduct for public input

The Board values relevant community input from diverse perspectives and requests that all persons share their views and opinions in a manner that is productive, respectful, and not disruptive. Speech of any kind that is disruptive will not be tolerated. Anyone who fails to meet this standard may be muted or removed from the meeting.  

Members of the public wishing to provide input are invited to do so virtually or in-person.

Sign Up to Speak by Telephone – Requests to speak by phone can be submitted at any time, but not later than 2:00 p.m. on the day of the board meeting. Speakers will be contacted with instructions for calling in to the meeting.

Attend the meeting in-person at the EWEB Roosevelt Operations Center located at 4200 Roosevelt Boulevard - When you arrive at the meeting, please fill out a "request to speak" form so we can call your name to speak in the order the forms are received. (No online sign-up option available.)  

Testimony will be included in the meeting's audio/video recording and noted in the meeting minutes. Both are made available on eweb.org following the meeting.

Please note there is not an opportunity for public comment during work sessions.

ORS 192.705 and Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) 199-050-0070 require the public body to publish on its website contact information so that members of the public may submit a grievance alleging a violation by the governing body of provisions in the Public Meeting Law. Full text of the rules and the timelines associated with filing a grievance can be viewed on the Oregon Administrative Rules website.

Grievances must be submitted in writing, and are accepted by:
