Public Comments can be enabled/disabled for each agenda item specifically in the Agenda Template. From the eSCRIBE Portal, select Meeting Management. When adding items to the Agenda Structure, the setting to Enable Public Comments will be turned on by default, but can be deselected for specific categories/items where public comments are not accepted. To disable Public Comments for a specific category/item update the category/item and uncheck the Allow Public Comments setting.

Inside a Meeting Site, Public Comments can be enabled/disabled as needed by viewing the Item's Additional Details.

From the Pop up that appears, deselect the setting to Allow Public Comment.
