Individual public comment submission is a paid feature available to Active Civic Participant members and above. Members draft comments on specific agenda items or staff directions through our platform, and we format and send them to the city clerk before deadlines so they become part of the official record. Free users can participate in pre-meeting community surveys, including optional survey comments, which provide aggregate resident input to Council.
Surveys are quick input collected from registered users before each meeting and may include optional short text responses. We deliver aggregate survey results to Council before they vote, giving them a snapshot of resident sentiment. Paid individual public comments are detailed written positions on specific agenda items or staff directions — your name and position go on the public record as part of the official meeting documentation. Both reach Council; they serve different civic purposes. Surveys show breadth, while paid public comments show depth and put your specific reasoning on the record.
Active Civic includes agendas, staff reports, meeting minutes, bookmarks, major developments, staff directions, and city financials. Power User adds its ARIA conversation allowance and a longer archive window.
AI summaries help you understand agenda items. The latest agenda preview is public; subscriber archive access follows your plan.ARIA is a research assistant available to Civic Power User (10 conversations/month) and existing Research License (50 conversations/month) subscribers — it can answer open-ended questions and point you to relevant civic records.
Ask questions such as "What did Council discuss about parking?" or "What are the recent updates on the Fountain Ave project?" ARIA helps you research agendas, minutes, and staff reports.
Civic Power User includes 10 new conversations each calendar month. For existing subscribers, Research License includes 50 new conversations each calendar month. Starting a new ARIA conversation uses one allowance; messages in an existing conversation remain subject to daily safeguards.
Your other plan features remain available. Your new conversation allowance resets at the start of the next calendar month; we do not sell token bundles or overage billing.
Last month alone, WeHo City Council made decisions on parking rates, development permits, and budget allocations totaling $4.2M — most residents found out after the fact.
Don't let another important decision slip by unnoticed.
Did you know? Only a few residents submitted comments on last month's budget reallocation. When residents speak up in volume, Council pays attention. Take the survey, then make your specific position part of the public record.
