Commission adopts revised public comment rules allowing broader topics within time limits

The commission adopted a revised public comment policy that caps public comment at 30 minutes per session with a three-minute limit per speaker. The change had been presented in a prior work session and was introduced for approval during the meeting. In response to questions whether comments would be limited to agenda items, Reagan explained the policy: it "would be any item that is, a matter that this body would have some interest in" and could include items not strictly on the agenda, though topics with no relation to the body would be inappropriate.
