Instructions For
CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT
DURING CITY COUNCIL Virtual WORK SESSIONS
Due to COVID-19, alternate methods for citizen involvement during City Council work sessions
have been created to allow public interaction while keeping everyone safe and healthy. Although
there is no in person public attendance allowed, council wants to encourage citizen participation.
If you wish to participate in a work session, please follow these simple steps:
STEP 1: Sign up on the city clerk's contact list. Send an email to clerk2cityofseward.net
and request to be included on the contact list AND provide your phone number.
Sign up by 5:00 p.m. on the day of the work session. You'll receive a confirmation
email from the city clerk that you're on the list; if you don't receive the
confirmation, please call 224-4045 to confirm.
STEP 2: Keep your phone handy throughout the work session. When answering your phone,
please mute any background noise so you can be heard by council clearly.
How it will work:
During regular intervals throughout the work session, the proceedings will be halted and the city
clerk will call citizens who have signed up. After all citizens have been contacted, council will
continue the work session.
Citizens sign up one time per work session, and will be contacted at every interval during the work
session. Each time you are called, the city clerk will ask if you wish to be contacted at the next
interval during that work session.
How to watch or listen to a work session:
Watch Live Streaming on the city's YouTube page. Log onto YouTube and type "City of
Seward Alaska" into the search bar or go to:
