Warrensburg council agrees to move public comment earlier; manager to draft formal policy
Summary
Councilors at the July 9 retreat reached consensus to place public comment at the start of regular agendas (after statutory public hearings) and directed City Manager Schrage to draft a public-comment policy and sign-up procedure for council review.
Councilors discussed the timing and form of public comment during the budget retreat and reached consensus to move the public-comment period to the beginning of regular council agendas after statutory public hearings. City Manager Schrage will draft a formal public-comment policy and a sign-up procedure for council consideration.
The change is procedural and does not appear to alter statutory hearing requirements; council asked that the draft policy include subject-matter details and practical sign-up mechanics. No formal vote was recorded at the retreat; the direction was recorded as consensus and will require a future formal adoption if council chooses to implement the new placement and procedures.
