SUMMARY:

                                          

Currently Section 1.09 - Council Member Input states:

 

For any item or subject, Council Members shall have a total of three (3) opportunities to speak and shall limit each opportunity to three (3) minutes.  Members shall speak no more than once so long as any member who has not spoken desires to speak.  So long as a member does not object, the President may choose not to enforce these limitations.  These limitations may be waived or suspended for a time certain by a majority vote of the existing membership of the Council.  The requirements of this Section shall not apply to workshops.

 

This discussion item seeks to discuss amending Section 1.09 by leaving the opportunities the same, at three (3) and amending each opportunity to be five (5) minutes, three (3) minutes and three (3) minutes.
