The Santa Ana City Council is going back to virtual meetings due to COVID-19

In response to Governor Newsom’s latest action on COVID-related closures statewide and for counties on the State’s targeted engagement list, the Santa Ana City Council will revert to virtual meetings beginning on July 21, 2020.

In an ongoing effort to protect public health and prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), and to ensure the public’s right to fully participate in providing meaningful public comments, the City Council will meet via teleconference and there will be no in-person public meeting location. The public is advised of the following:

Public comments will be held during the beginning of the meeting for ALL comments on agenda and non-agenda items, except for public hearings. Comments for public hearings will take place after the hearing is opened. This is being done to respect the time constraints of residents who cannot stay tuned late into the evening to comment on items that they feel strongly about.

Individuals who would like to comment on an agenda item or make a general comment regarding a topic not in the meeting’s agenda may do so by:

  1. Emailing ecomment@santa-ana.org by 4:00 p.m. on Council meeting Tuesday. Comments received after the cut off will be included as part of the record as early as possible; or
  2. Calling (669) 900-9128, entering the Meeting ID: 315-965-149#. The public can begin joining the speaker queue at 5 p.m. Once a caller has entered the meeting, they will be placed in a holding queue. Callers will be prompted to speak in the order received, and after the Clerk confirms the last three digits of their phone number, are encouraged, but not required to identify themselves by name. Each caller will be provided three (3) minutes to speak.

Comments on public hearing items may be made via email or by phone once the public hearing begins when the call line will be re-opened. Callers will be prompted to speak in the order received, and after the Clerk confirms the last three digits of their phone number, are encouraged, but not required to identify themselves by name. Each caller will be provided three (3) minutes to speak.

In accordance with the adopted Santa Ana Council Rules and Procedures (Resolution No. 2013-19) disruptive behavior and profane language will not be tolerated. Failure to maintain decorum may cause the speaker to be disconnected from the meeting.

All members of the public may watch or listen into the meeting live via these remote options:
• YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/cityofsantaanavideos/live
• Channel CTV3, available on Spectrum channel 3 and AT&T U-verse channel 99
• Teleconferencing line at (669) 900-9128, Meeting ID: 315-965-149#

The City of Santa Ana thanks residents for their ongoing patience and flexibility as we continue to balance safety and public participation.

Las Sesiones del Concejo Municipal de Santa Ana Regresan a Formato Virtual el 21 de Julio del 2020

En respuesta a la medida más reciente del Gobernador Newsom sobre cierres estatales relacionados con COVID y para condados en la lista acción enfocada del Estado, el Concejo Municipal de Santa Ana revertirá a sesiones virtuales a partir del 21 de julio del 2020.

En un esfuerzo continuo para proteger la salud pública y prevenir la propagación del novel coronavirus (COVID-19), y para garantizar el derecho del público de participar plenamente en aportar comentarios públicos significativos, el Concejo Municipal se reunirá por medio de teleconferencia y no habrá lugar de reunión pública en persona. Se informa al público lo siguiente:

Los comentarios públicos tendrán lugar al principio de la sesión para TODOS los comentarios sobre puntos en la agenda y no en la agenda, excepto audiencias públicas. Los comentarios para audiencias públicas tendrán lugar luego de que se abra la audiencia. Esto se hace para respetar las limitaciones de tiempo de los residentes que no pueden estar sintonizados hasta altas horas de la noche para comentar sobre asuntos que son de su interés.

Los individuos que quisieran comentar en un punto en la agenda o hacer un comentario general acerca de un tema que no esté en la agenda de la sesión, pueden hacerlo por medio de:
1. Correo electrónico a ecomment@santa-ana.org para las 4:00 PM del martes de la sesión del Concejo. Los comentarios recibidos después de este tiempo límite se incluirán como parte de las actas lo más pronto posible; o
2. Llamar al (669) 900-9128, pulsar el código de Meeting ID: 315-965-149#. El público puede comenzar a ponerse en la fila para hablar a las 5 PM. Una vez que una persona haya entrado a la sesión, serán colocados en una fila de espera. Se les pedirá a los llamantes que hablen en el orden recibido, y luego de que la Secretaria confirme los últimos tres dígitos de su número telefónico, se le anima, pero no es requerido, a identificarse por nombre. Cada llamante recibirá tres (3) minutos para hablar.

Los comentarios en asuntos de audiencia pública se pueden realizar por email o por teléfono una vez que comience la audiencia pública, cuando se reabrirá la línea de llamadas. Se les pedirá a los llamantes que hablen en el orden recibido, y luego de que la Secretaria confirme los últimos tres dígitos de su número telefónico, se le anima, pero no es requerido, a identificarse por nombre. Cada llamante recibirá tres (3) minutos para hablar.

De conformidad con las Reglas y Procedimientos adoptados del Concejo de Santa Ana (Resolución No. 2013-19) no se tolerará comportamiento disruptivo y lenguaje profano. No mantener el decoro puede causar que el orador se desconecte de la sesión.

Todos los miembros del público pueden ver o escuchar la sesión en vivo mediante estas opciones a distancia:
• Canal de YouTube en www.youtube.com/cityofsantaanavideos/live
• Canal CTV3, disponible en Spectrum canal 3 y AT&T U-verse canal 99
