Commissioner David Vilaysing said residents asked to move regular meetings from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. or later to improve attendance for those working standard business hours; Mayor Mason Ruder said the Commission remains open to review but there is no consensus to change times now.
Commissioner David Vilaysing told the Commission that several residents had requested moving regular City Commission meetings and work sessions from 4:00 p.m. back to 5:30 p.m. or later, arguing a later start would reduce barriers for residents who work standard business hours.
Commissioners exchanged views during the work session. Mayor Mason Ruder concluded that while the governing body is open to reviewing additional public data or alternative hybrid meeting structures in the future, there is no active Commission consensus to change current meeting times at this time.
No formal motion or vote occurred during the work session; the topic remains under consideration for future review.
