Opportunity for public comment is provided at each regular board meeting. During the public input portion of the agenda, you are invited to address the board about any EWEB topic or issue.

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.

Alternatively, you may submit written testimony to be provided to the board in advance of the meeting.

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.

Option1: 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.

Option 2: Submit Written Testimony – Comments may be submitted at any time. Comments received by 2:00 pm on meeting day will be provided to the board in advance of the meeting; comments received after 2:00 pm may not be reviewed until after the meeting. Written comments will not be read during the meeting.

Option 3: 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.)  

Spoken testimonies will be included in the meeting's audio/video recording and all testimonies will be 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.
