Sign Up to Speak at Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Meetings

Thank you for your interest in speaking to the City of Boulder's Parks & Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB). The Board welcomes comments from community members on Boulder’s parks, recreation services and related city business.

To help staff plan the agenda and support all participants, PRAB kindly asks speakers to sign up in advance. Individuals who do not register ahead of time may still speak and can sign up at the meeting. Speakers who sign up at the meeting will be called after those who registered in advance are finished speaking.

• If you have written materials to share with PRAB, please email them to PRAB@bouldercolorado.gov

Please submit the form by 12 p.m. on the day of the meeting. You will receive a confirmation email after registration is received. If you miss the deadline, you may still register during the meeting before the Public Comment segment closes. A virtual meeting link will be posted to the corresponding meeting webpage on the day of the meeting.

Members of the public are welcome to attend PRAB meetings in person or virtually. Individuals may speak for up to 3 minutes during Public Open Comment or during a scheduled Public Hearing. The public comment segment of the meeting begins shortly after the meeting starts.

Study sessions do not include public comment and are held virtually. A virtual meeting link will be posted on the corresponding meeting webpage on the day of each session.

Speaker Order:

1. In‑person speakers registered in advance
2. Virtual speakers registered in advance
3. Speakers who sign up at the meeting

If you have questions or need accommodations, including interpretation or accessibility support, please email PRABadmin@bouldercolorado.gov as early as possible

A summary of your comments will appear in the meeting minutes. You are welcome to follow up at a future meeting or by contacting PRAB members or department staff.

The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board looks forward to hearing from you.
