Bridgeport City Council reschedules Charter Revision public hearing to July 21 at 6 p.m.
Summary
The Bridgeport City Council amended and approved moving the Charter Revision Commission’s public hearing from July 22 at 5 p.m. to July 21 at 6 p.m., citing concerns that an earlier start would deter working residents from attending.
The Bridgeport City Council on its July meeting unanimously moved the Charter Revision Commission’s public hearing from July 22 to July 21 and amended the start time to 6:00 p.m.
Council members debated the hearing time after a motion was made to change the hearing date. One member said an earlier 5:00 p.m. start would make it difficult for many constituents to attend, and the council amended the motion to set the hearing for 6:00 p.m. The amendment and the resulting scheduling motion were approved by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
The change affects item 99-24 on the agenda, which the council discussed as an early-item public hearing. Council leaders said the date and time were set to improve public access to the hearing.
The council did not record individual roll-call votes in the transcript; the minutes note the change was approved by voice vote. The Charter Revision Commission hearing will now be held July 21 at 6:00 p.m., per the council’s action.
