cc 5/21/19
Item #23
23. Subject: Consideration of resolution to change the order of business for Regular City Council meetings.
Recommended Action: Rescind Resolution No. 11-176 and adopt Resolution No. 19-062 to change the order
of business for Regular City Council meetings.
I recognize that oral communications, at times, is lengthy, however this is the only opportunity during a
meeting for residents to be heard by Council and the general public on non-agenda items. I would discourage
shortening the length of time below 3 minutes.
The notion of continuing oral communications to the end of the council meeting is a horrible idea. With
council meetings routinely continuing well after midnight, residents are likely to leave prior to the closing
minutes of the meeting and would not be heard .
Additionally, consideration for students should not be prioritized. Oral communications occur early in the
schedule and all community members must be treated equal.
