Online Engagement Process

(This process will also be described at the start of each General Public Engagement Meeting)

• All participants will be muted until they are called upon. To request to speak, please use the raise hand feature in Zoom. For information on how to use the raise hand feature, please click here.
• Speakers will be unmuted in the order of their raised hands and allowed an amount of minutes to share based on the total number of meeting attendees.
• When the current speaker’s time has ended, the next participant in the raised hand que will be unmuted and asked to share. Citygate intends to allow as many speakers as the 2-hour meeting time allows.
• Participants may attend with audio only or with audio and video.
• Participants will not be allowed to unmute themselves or use the chat feature.
• As with all City of Lawrence public meetings, these sessions will be recorded.
