Speak to Council sessions are held the same day as the City Council Meeting at 6:30PM. There are two ways to participate in Speak to Council:

1. The first option is to call 585-428-7421, before 5:30 p.m. of the Meeting Day, to sign up and come to Council Chambers to speak. You will need to provide your first and last name, address (no P.O. Box), phone number, and an email address, the organization you are representing (if any), and the topic you plan to speak about. You may also email your request to council@cityofrochester.gov prior to 2:00 p.m. on Council Meeting day.  Your email must include the topic you are addressing, your first and last name, address, and phone number, and the organization you are representing (if any). You will have either two minutes or three minutes to speak at the session. If there are 20 or less speakers signed up to speak, you will have three minutes to speak.  If there are more than 20 speakers signed up to speak, you will have two minutes to speak.  A staff person will use an electronic timer when you begin to speak to track your time.
2. The second option is to email your comments to council@cityofrochester.gov prior to 2:00 p.m. Your email must include the topic you are addressing, your first and last name, address, and phone number, and the organization you are representing (if any).
