HEALDSBURG, CA - The City of Healdsburg will not be allowing public comments to be made via Zoom for the next City Council meeting of October 2. This change is due to recent disruptive and hate-filled comments happening to cities across the region. These attacks have subjected communities to profane content and threaten the City Council’s ability to conduct business.  

The City welcomes public input and regrets the inconvenience that this change may cause for members of the community who prefer to participate in meetings virtually. No end date has been identified at this time, but the City hopes to return to normal operations as soon as it is possible to do so. 

Members of the public who wish to address the Council during the October 2 regular meeting can do so by attending the meeting in person in the Council Chamber at 401 Grove Street, Healdsburg. Public comment can also be submitted by email at publiccomment@healdsburg.gov. Members of the public can watch or listen to the meeting on the City website, Zoom or Facebook. 

Spanish Interpretation is available in person in the Council Chamber and closed captioning is available in multiple languages on zoom.

Members of the public may watch or listen to the meeting using one of the following methods:

1. Watch the livesteam on the city website: healdsburg.gov/agendas
2. Watch in Zoom: www.healdsburg.gov/zoom
3. Watch on Facebook: www.facebook.com/cityofhealdsburg
