During council comments Councilor James Stavig noted the availability and timeline for applications to fill an open council seat and expressed concern about moving to a strict Robert's Rules model; Councilor Elizabeth Turman‑Bryant said she met with the Gallery mall property owner to discuss ways the city could support local businesses.
