Meeting Participation

There are several ways for the public to participate in or watch Municipal Board meetings:

• Citizens to be Heard – Individuals wanting to speak during the Open Session portion of the meeting may do so by signing up. Sign-up is done in person, prior to the start of the meeting. The completed Comment Form is then given to the City Secretary. Sign-ups will not be accepted after the meeting starts. Once you are recognized by the Mayor/Chair, please step up to the podium and clearly state your name and affiliation (i.e. Helotes resident & state your address or Helotes business owner & state business address). Each speaker has 3 minutes to speak and time is not transferrable.  Each speaker may only speak once. No shouting or cursing is allowed. Please remember, City Council/Board Members can not discuss or take action on issues brought up during Open Session – This is a period to accept comments only.
• Live-stream of Meetings – Municipal Board meetings are live-streamed on the City of Helotes YouTube channel. Government Access Channel 21 on Spectrum is being upgraded, so it is unavailable for viewing at this time.
• Recordings of Meetings – Recorded broadcasts of Municipal Board meetings are available on the City of Helotes YouTube channel.
