City Council meetings are aired live on the city's cable channel Spectrum (formerly Time Warner) 24 and AT&T U-Verse 99, and they replay throughout the week. Check the City TV schedule for times.
How to comment
If you would like to provide comments to the City Council, please:
- Fill out a speaker request form, located in the foyer.
- Submit the form to the City Clerk before the item begins.
- When it’s your turn, the City Clerk will call your name and invite you to the podium.
- Speakers have three minutes, unless the presiding officer (usually the mayor) changes that time.
- You may not give your time to another person, but can create a group. A group must select a single speaker as long as three other members of your group are present. All forms must be submitted to the City Clerk before the item begins and will only be accepted for items listed on the agenda (not for general public comment at the beginning of the meeting). Group representatives have 10 minutes unless that time is changed by the presiding officer or the City Council.
If you wish to provide written comments as part of the record, e-mail your comments to clerk@carlsbadca.gov. Please indicate the agenda item number in your e-mail subject line. Emails received by 2 p.m. will be provided to the City Council prior to the start of the meeting. Other comments will be included with the meeting record. Emailed comments will not be read out loud during the meeting.
