Effective October 10, 2023, the City of Fremont removed the option for virtual public comment during City Council Meetings. Public comments are still accepted in person and by email.

This measure was introduced on October 4, 2023, as several of our neighboring city councils and regional elected decision-making bodies were subjected to disruptive, racist verbal attacks by anonymous callers during virtual public comments. These incidents, also commonly referred to as ‘Zoom Bombings,’ appeared to be a coordinated effort, possibly from people outside the Bay Area.

Regularly scheduled Council Meetings will continue to be broadcast on Zoom (virtual comments disabled), on Fremont.gov, and our cable television channel 27.

Members of the public may still watch meetings remotely and are welcome to submit public comments in advance of Council meetings via email. All email comments received by the deadline noted on the agenda, on the day of a Council meeting, will be distributed to Councilmembers and published in the City’s Agenda Center on www.fremont.gov, in advance of the meeting.

• Email councilmeetings@fremont.gov by the deadline noted on the agenda, the day of the meeting.
• Please identify the agenda item number and meeting date in the subject line of your email or specify that it is not related to an agenda item.
• Emails will be compiled into files by agenda item number, distributed to the City Council and staff, and published in the City's Agenda Center on www.fremont.gov.
• If you wish to share an attachment/exhibit, submit the pdf formatted document(s) to the email above by the noted deadline.

Electronic comments on agenda items for the City Council meeting may only be submitted by email. Comments via text and social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) will not be accepted.
