Public Comment

Public Comment is your opportunity to address your City of San Antonio elected officials directly about issues that are important to you and your community. Whether you comment online, address City Council virtually at a Wednesday Public Comment session, or speak on a specific agenda item at a Thursday morning A Session, your voice is important and will be heard.

Meetings will be available to the public at AT&T channel 99, Grande channel 20, Spectrum channel 21, digital antenna 16, www.sanantonio.gov/TVSA and www.Facebook.com/COSAGOV or by calling 210.207.5555 (English and Spanish audio).

Members of the public can sign up online to speak before the San Antonio City Council. Members of the public are given three (3) minutes to speak, and groups are given nine (9) minutes. However, the Mayor or Presiding Officer may reduce this time at his/her discretion.

To sign-up, please go to www.sanantonio.gov/agenda. If eComment is available for a meeting, an eComment link will be present. Here you will be able to access the Public Comment page to review written comments submitted by others, create a profile to submit your own comments, and/or register to speak on an item. Be sure to check the agenda to see how you can engage. Please note that if you are registering to speak at a virtual meeting, your profile must include a telephone number.

Written comments will be accepted from the time the agenda is posted right up until the meeting start time. Requests to speak will be accepted from the time the agenda is posted until thirty minutes before the meeting begins.

Any content that the public would like to present while they speak during City Council MUST be submitted a minimum of 24 hours prior to the meeting. Please contact the Communications and Engagement Department at 210.207.7236 to coordinate.
