Monday afternoon toward the end of the 4:00 PM meeting of the =
Administrative Committee of the City Council we will continue discussing =
possible changes to city procedures relative to public hearings. As was =
noted in a recent posting to vision2020, it is not illegal for the City =
to receive testimony from commission members. However, in the recent =
past, members of at least two different commissions were not allowed to =
testify before council. The Mayor decided not to change the process in =
the middle of a hearing. I personally support that decision.=20
However, we now want to thoroughly review our procedures. I believe it =
will take some time to accomplish this. These are important decisions =
and should not be made hastily. Therefore, it is a perfect time to offer =
the Mayor and Council your comments.=20
I have copied this email to the Mayor and City Council members as a way =
to provide you with their email addresses.=20
