Before the city council meets tonight, you can submit comments remotely here from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. Written comments can be emailed to [email protected] before 5 p.m. or submitted in person at the city recorder’s office, located at 555 Liberty St. S.E room 225. Include a note that your comment is for public record.
