Submit Public Comment
During the designated public commentary period within City Council meetings, individuals are allotted a three-minute speaking duration, while representatives of organizations may address the Council for up to five minutes.
Before presenting, kindly disclose your full name and city of residence. The City strongly advises submitting verbal comments in written form to expedite subsequent correspondence.
Written comments must be received by the City Clerk's office no later than noon on the meeting day, addressed to PO Box 1300, Duvall, WA 98019, or deposited at the City Hall drop box located at 15535 Main Street NE, or sent by e-mail.
Please be aware that the City Council, its Boards, and its Commissions solely entertain public comments from attendees present at the meeting in person. The Council does not accept handouts or printed material during public commentary sessions. Information intended for the Mayor or the City Council must be directed to the City Clerk, who will disseminate it following the submitter's instructions. Upon receipt, the City Clerk will receive written public comments and subsequently furnish them to the City Council or the relevant Board or Commission.
It’s essential to note, however, that written comments will not be orally presented during Council, applicable Board, or Commission meetings. Any written comments received after the noon deadline will be shared with the Council at the next Council meeting as part of the City Clerk’s report.
