The online testimony tool allows you to submit written testimony of up to 250 words that includes your contact information and the specific bill or resolution or other subject at issue. You may also attach files that exceed this limit. Any testimony submitted online is received and reviewed by the entire Council as it is submitted.
Legislative testimony submitted using the online tool must be submitted no later than 11:00 A.M. on the day of the meeting that the bill or resolution will be heard. View the full meeting schedule. After 11:00 A.M., legislation being heard that day will no longer be available in the online testimony tool. Testimony submitted using the "Invite to Audience" tool may not be on a bill or resolution that is on the agenda for a specific meeting.
Testimony submitted online by 11:00 A.M. will be posted on the Council’s website on the day of the meeting. A final count of the number of online submissions will be stated during the meeting and all submissions will become part of the public record.
