The San Francisco Bay Restoration Authority is transitioning to hybrid in-person / virtual meetings. Meeting participants and members of the public have the option to attend in-person or via teleconference.
The physical location of the meeting as well as the teleconference information can be found in the meeting agenda.
If you are planning to observe the meeting remotely but not make a comment, the live webcast will provide the best user experience. This link can be found in the agenda. To make a comment, you will need to enter the meeting via the Zoom link in the agenda. You can switch between webcast and Zoom throughout the meeting.
If you do not have access to a computer or to the internet, you can follow the meeting by telephone only. The dial-in number can be found in the agenda. Do not use Zoom and the phone dial-in simultaneously – this causes audio feedback and echoes.
Please note, the chat function will be disabled for the duration of the meetings. This is to avoid ex parte conversations and comply with public meeting requirements. If you need technical assistance during the meeting, please email info@sfbayrestore.org
Information on how to join each meeting is in that meeting's agenda. The instructions below outline how members of the public can provide public comment.
Providing Public Comment
There are several ways for the public to provide comments for the Authority’s meetings. These are:
-
Send an email in advance to: info@sfbayrestore.org . Email comments received by 5pm the Tuesday before the meeting will distributed to the Governing Board or relevant committee. Please include in your email the agenda item number for the item you are commenting on. If you want your name and organization included in the public record, please include in your comment. Emails received after 5pm the Tuesday before the meeting will not be considered by the Authority.
-
Please note that comments sent to us may be posted on this website and are subject to California's Public Records Act. Please do not include any personal or private information that you do not want to be available to the public.
-
-
Provide comments directly during the meeting. Comments can be made at the end of each item and at the end of the agenda. This may be adjusted by the Chair at any time. Comments on items that are not on the agenda must be made during the public comment period(s) in the agenda. If you want your name and organization included in the public record, please state at the beginning of your comments. If joining by Zoom, attendees will have an option to use the “Raise Hand” function to be unmuted and make their comment. To make a comment, you will need to enter the meeting via the Zoom link in the agenda, rather than the webcast link.
-
If you are joining by telephone, press *9 to “Raise Hand” and be called on by the Chair to make your comment.
