For all other city meetings, please connect with the appropriate staff for the committee for the email address or voicemail number.

Comments for City Council meetings can also be mailed to City Clerk/Public Input, 31 Wakefield Street, Rochester, NH 03867 and must be received at least three days prior to the meeting. Emailed comments for all meetings must be received by 4 p.m. on the day of the meeting and voicemails must be left by 12 p.m. on the day of the meeting.
