Council Member Zoltanski
Body
Description/Background:
The "Citizen Comments" portion of the agenda is time set aside for the public to engage the Council on issues not on the agenda. Currently, Citizen Comments falls near the beginning of the meeting following the standing reports (Agenda Calendar Review, Council Business, Mayor/CAO, etc.). The actual time of the Citizen Comments is uncertain and depends on the unpredictable length of the standing reports. Council Member Zoltanski recommends moving Citizen Comments to 7:00 PM time certain in order to allow residents more time to get to the City Council Meeting, and also provide a more predictable time for public comment.
