Committee votes to move public comment earlier so parks staff can hear concerns
Summary
The National City Park and Recreation Committee voted to place public comment after roll call and before most agenda business to ensure parks and recreation staff are present when residents speak about field maintenance and programming.
The National City Park and Recreation Committee voted to move public comment earlier in the agenda (immediately after roll call) so parks and recreation staff would be present to hear concerns.
Daniel Perez moved the motion to place public comment after roll call and before commissioner comments; Jason seconded. After brief discussion—some members expressed concern about commissioner comments immediately following public comment—the motion was approved with members voting in favor.
Committee leadership characterized the change as a trial: if it creates unintended effects (for example, encouraging commissioners to respond to public comments at length), the agenda order can be adjusted in future meetings.
The vote was announced at the meeting as accepted; the transcript records the motion, second and final declaration that the motion passed but does not provide a roll-call tally by name in the public record.
