In an effort to enhance community engagement, the City of Naperville now offers online speaker sign up for City Council meetings. This convenient, interactive form allows members of the public to sign up to address elected officials at an upcoming meeting from the comfort of their home or office. This new form also allows the option to note support or opposition for a specific topic for public record.
Online speaker sign up will open once the agenda is published, typically the Wednesday prior to the date of the meeting. The public can sign up to speak on any agenda item or under Public Forum. This is a great tool for those individuals who regularly address the City Council or those who want to speak on a later agenda item who cannot be at the Municipal Center before the meeting to sign-up in person. Signing up online is flexible and does not require arrival before 7 p.m.; however, speakers are required to be present when their name is called under the item they wish to address.

Online sign up will close at 5 p.m. the day of the meeting. Once online sign up is closed, members of the public may sign up at the Municipal Center in the City Clerk's Office from 6:30 p.m. to 6:55 p.m. The City no longer accepts phone calls for speaker sign up.
"We welcome and encourage public comment at City Council meetings and want to make it easier for constituents to be able to share their opinions about important decisions whether they can be present at a meeting or not," said Naperville City Manager Doug Krieger. "I am excited about the opportunity to make citizen participation an easier process for all with this new feature."
