City Commission Meeting Procedures
At the June 20th meeting, the City Commission discussed the monthly meeting schedule per Mayor Soden’s request. Items discussed included number of meetings, number of agenda items per meeting, work sessions, length of meetings and time limits for public comment. At the conclusion of the discussion, the commission directed staff to keep the current meeting schedule but to return to utilizing the ‘shot clock’ to place a time limit on public comment during City Commission meetings.
Pursuant to that direction, the time clock is available for the meeting on July 11, 2017. However, staff would recommend that a meeting procedures policy be adopted before implementing use of the clock to place a time limit on public comment. Staff is currently developing a policy outlining guidelines of conduct and meeting procedures for Commission consideration at the July 18 meeting.
