How to speak at Shafter City Council meetings

How long can I speak?

Speakers are limited to five minutes unless more time is needed for translation. State your name and address for the record.

Can I comment by phone during the meeting?

Yes, but callers must first register with the City Clerk at 661-746-5012 to get the call-in number and code. Call by 5:00 pm on the Monday before the meeting with your name, phone number and the item number you want to address.
