The Blaine City Council and other boards and commissions will continue to meet. However, the meetings will not be held
at Blaine City Hall. All meetings will be held virtually until further notice. There are
multiple ways for the public to still participate in the meetings before and during the
actual meeting.
Public Comment Before a Meeting
City staff has developed a public comment process for virtual meetings. A
public comment email address, PublicComment@BlaineMN.gov, and phone
number, 763-717-2782, allow individuals to submit comments prior to a
meeting. Those comment boxes are available until noon on the day of the meeting. The comments will be compiled and delivered to the Blaine City Council or the appropriate commission or advisory board.
Public Comment During a Meeting
During the meeting, members of the public who wish to comment during public comment
periods will be asked to join the meeting on the Zoom webinar platform. Meeting attendees
will be able to click the raise hand button, this will alert city staff that an individual wishes
to comment. When it is time for comments, individuals will be recognized and their
microphones will be enabled allowing them to comment. Zoom meeting information
can be found in the calendar notification and on the agenda for each meeting. For more
information and to view the meeting calendar, visit BlaineMN.gov/CityMeetings.
Ways to Watch a Meeting
If you do not wish to comment on an item but still want to watch the meeting you are asked to watch through all the normal methods the city provides. You can watch on the Blaine city cable channel which is available on Comcast (channel 799 and 16) or through the free North Metro TV app on Apple TV or Roku. You can also watch a live stream at BlaineMN.gov/Video.
