Public Meetings to Transition Temporarily to Teleconference Format

In light of the City of Shawano Public Health Emergency announcement of March 23, 2020 the City of Shawano will be using ZOOM to transition public meetings temporarily to a teleconference format. See the City of Shawano Public Health Emergency announcement here. 

• Agendas for public meetings will be posted online and in public locations as required by state law and will include access information for the public to call into these teleconference meetings. Specific instructions for calling into City of Shawano ZOOM teleconference meetings is at the bottom of this post.
• The City’s ZOOM software subscription allows for up to 100 participants to attend a teleconference at once. We do not anticipate capacity issues for attendees.
• Minutes will be recorded in writing and presented for adoption at the next meeting of that body.

Accessing a City of Shawano ZOOM Teleconference:

1. From a cell phone or landline phone, call the following toll-free phone number: 1 (888) 788-0099 or 1 (877) 853-5247. When prompted to enter a meeting ID, enter the ID number located at the top of the meeting agenda followed by the # key. 
2. Closed session discussions will have a different meeting ID and will require a password be entered to access the teleconference line. The unique meeting ID and password will be shared with voting members and staff.
3. If you call in before the time that a meeting begins, you may be placed on a brief hold until the meeting begins.
4. For best audio quality for all participants, please mute your phone when you are not speaking. You can mute and unmute your phone to speak during public comment sections of the agenda by dialing *6 from your phone keypad.
