Members of the public who opt to comment during electronic meetings – rather than providing written comments before the meeting -- may do so by registering to provide public comment. To register, click on the “Register to Provide Public Comment” link at https://www.coab.us/506/Meeting-Videos.

Please register only for the meeting you wish to provide public comment on at least one hour before each meeting starts.  If you wish to provide public comment on other meetings, you must register for and join each meeting separately.

When you connect, you will see the message “Please wait, the meeting host will let you in soon”. Due to new security guidelines, you will not be able to connect after the meeting starts.
