Online Meetings

How Does It Work?

The meeting is streamed live on the homepage of HallCounty.org at the time of the meeting. Those wishing to simply watch the proceedings should use this option. However, those wishing to register a public comment for any reason, including zoning hearings, are provided three convenient options.

1. Register a comment ahead of time, online. In the list of meetings on this page are links to online forms for citizens to register public comments. These comments will be presented to the Board members ahead of their votes. This option allows for the inclusion of photos, videos and other documents, should you wish to utilize them. Online comments must be submitted 24 hours in advance.
2. Join the meeting remotely. Those joining the meeting via the online conferencing platform "Go To Meeting" will be able to watch the meeting in real time. Once the item they wish to register a comment on is brought up for discussion, users will be called upon to use the "Raise Hand" feature to indicate their intention to address the Board. Those choosing to join Go To Meeting should do so from a computer, tablet or smart device.
3. Call in to register a public comment. Those who cannot or choose not to join the Go To Meeting have the option to register a comment by phone. Citizens can call 770-718-2327, where they will be prompted to leave their name, callback number, the agenda item they wish to comment on, and (if applicable) whether they are in favor of or in opposition to the application. When their desired agenda item comes up for discussion, they will be called back, and allowed to address the Board by phone.
