Council reviewed proposed amendments to the governing standards (meeting start times, remote participation, speaking limits and creation of procedures for council investigations/oversight). Council directed staff to bring back a draft process for council investigations/oversight by December and voted to proceed with redlined changes as part of the consent agenda unless pulled.
