Public Comment

Public comment is an essential part of any local government meeting. It is an opportunity for members of the public to inform the governing body about their views. Whereas Auburn City Hall is currently closed to the public (due to precautions in place to fight the spread of COVID-19) and residents are unable to attend City Council meetings in person, we encourage residents to use one of the following methods to provide public comment. Please be sure to include your name and address, along with your comment, whichever method you use.

  • Send an email to COMMENTS@AUBURNMAINE.GOV (your comments will be included in the meeting minutes
