Council Discusses Potential Changes to Managing Meetings

The Council reviewed the current meeting format and discussed new ideas to help ensure these meetings better serve community needs and improve community access and public engagement in local government. The Council discussed prioritizing public comment by moving public comment periods sooner in the process for each agenda item, updating the meeting agenda cover page to inform the public when staff reports and agenda correspondence will be available ,
