The Highlands Council is currently holding all public meetings virtually. There are no in-person meetings at the Highlands Council office in Chester. This page provides details regarding how to participate in these meetings.

General Information
  • In 2021, meetings are being held using the Zoom meeting platform.
  • If you are unfamiliar with using Zoom, please visit the Zoom website for additional information, prior to joining a meeting.
  • Participants may also call in and participate by phone.
  • Zoom links and dial-in information will change for every meeting, and be posted on the calendar page, along with agendas and meeting materials.
How to Comment During a Meeting
  • All members of the public are automatically muted. The meeting host will announce when public comments are being accepted and instructions will be provided at that time.
  • Participants will need to “raise their hand” to indicate they would like to comment. Please familiarize yourself with how to do this based on how you are accessing the meeting.
  • Participants will be called by the moderator and instructions will be provided for unmuting yourself.
  • Please begin by providing your name and organization if applicable.
  • Comments are limited to 3 minutes. 
  • When your comment is complete, please indicate you are done speaking and your connection will be muted again.

PLEASE NOTE: Members of the public may also submit written comments in advance of the meeting and/or after the meeting, up to close of business on the Friday after the meeting, via email to highlands@highlands.nj.gov.
