The Jacksonville City Council has implemented an on-line form specifically to receive comments from the public. Ordinance 2005-337-E, introduced by Council Members Kevin Hyde, Michael Corrigan, Richard Clark, Arthur Graham, Suzanne Jenkins, Mia Jones and Gwen Yates, provides for the establishment of an email mailbox whereby constituents, unable to attend Council meetings, may provide public comment on pending legislation. The on-line form may be accessed via the Council web page at www.coj.net.

Constituents may indicate their support or opposition to a particular pending bill as well as provide comments. All communication received via the on-line comments form will be made part of the public record.
