If your organization or municipality has enabled meeting-based commenting, you can submit comments on a meeting through a simple form on the Public Portal. When a meeting comment is submitted, it is sent to an email address designated by the site administrator and includes a link to the specific meeting referenced. This article will explain how to submit a meeting-based comment using the Public Portal.
Important Notes
Because this feature is optional, it may not be available on all Public Portals.
If your organization or municipality uses the Public Engagement Suite, meeting-based commenting may be disabled. In this case, users can submit comments on individual agenda items instead of the meeting as a whole. For instructions on submitting an item-based comment, see our Submit a Written Comment in the Public Portal article.
