ATTENTION: TEMPORARY VIRTUAL PUBLIC MEETING AND COMMENT INSTRUCTIONS
IN LIGHT OF COVID-19 EMERGENCY
Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic Emergency, attendance at City Hall public meetings is limited in an
effort to comply with Federal and State public health and safety directives to keep our citizens and City
officials and employees safe. As a result, the City of Cape Canaveral is temporarily utilizing virtual
Communications Media Technology (CMT) for City Council and other board meetings pursuant to the
Governor's Executive Order Number 20-69 and Florida Statutes, Section 120.54(5)(b)(2) until further
notice. Governor DeSantis' Executive Order suspended the requirement of a quorum to be present in
person or having a local government body meet at a specific public place. Therefore, the City Council
and Advisory Board Members may attend public meetings and participate by telephonic and video
conferencing. Additionally, for the safety of our citizens, in -person attendance by the public will be
limited. However, the City of Cape Canaveral remains committed to providing alternative platforms for
citizens to virtually attend scheduled public meetings and have an opportunity to submit their public
comments in an efficient, orderly and safe manner.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR VIRTUAL MEETING ATTENDANCE AND AGENDA ACCESS
The City of Cape Canaveral temporary CMT meeting platform is GoToWebinar. Videoconferencing and
teleconferencing will be used to virtually connect the following meeting participants: City Council, Board
Members, City Staff, City Attorney, City Consultants and Applicant(s), if any, for purposes of conducting
public meetings.
However, the public may virtually attend the meeting live by viewing and listening to the meeting by
accessing the meeting at an Internet address and/or phone number/access code listed at the top of

Public comments are limited to three (3) minutes. The comments will be heard at the meeting and
summarized into the record. Public comments are subject to City meeting rules of decorum. The
speaker's activated audio may be muted by the City for violating the time limit or rules of decorum.
Please also note that the time allocated to each person for public comment is subject to the discretion
of the Council or Board and may be reduced from three (3) minutes based on the number of speakers
or comments received or previous comments made by the speaker.
PUBLIC COMMENT AND PUBLIC PARTICIPATION INSTRUCTIONS
Public comments in the form of email or written correspondence (either mailed or hand -delivered) will
be accepted no later than 24 hours ahead of a scheduled Workshop or Regular Meeting. Public
comments in the form of email or written correspondence will be accepted within a reasonable amount

record at the public meetings. However, emails and correspondence will be forwarded to the City
Council and/or Advisory Board Members prior to 12 Noon the day of the scheduled meeting for their
review.
Section 286.0114, Florida Statutes, affords the public a reasonable opportunity to be heard during public
City Council and Advisory Board Meetings. In light of challenges posed to hosting traditional public
gatherings due to the COVID-19 Pandemic Emergency, Staff is continually working to develop efficient
methods to ensure an accessible range of opportunities for public participation. We appreciate your
patience as we work to implement these improvements, and ask that any questions or concerns
regarding Public Participation and Public Comments be directed to the City Clerk's Office at
cityclerk@cityofcapecanaveral.org or by phone at (321) 868-1220.
