Commission asks staff to return with resolution on public‑speaking format after split views

Commissioner Mallozzi proposed changing the meeting’s public‑speaking format to require speakers who address specific agenda items or direct, localized resident concerns to speak at the start of the meeting and to remove or limit the rebuttal/general comment opportunity at the end. Supporters said the change would protect meeting time for orderly business and discourage theatrical late‑meeting interventions; opponents said it could restrict residents’ ability to respond to events that happen during the meeting.
