Public Comment Rule Restructuring
Summary
Public comment is being moved to two 15-minute blocks — one at the start and one at the end of meetings — instead of the current format. Residents like Susan Ciccilline Bunanano asked that commenters be allowed to speak to specific agenda items; two trustees also voted against the change.
