Council approves agenda and opens public comment; meeting begins with moment of silence for Rob Emerson
Summary
At the July 29 special meeting the council approved the agenda, the chair asked attendees to observe a moment of silence for a community member Rob Emerson, and the chair outlined public-comment rules including a three-minute limit and timers visible on screen.
At the start of the special meeting the council approved the agenda after a councilmember moved to adopt it. The motion was made and accepted verbally during the call to order.
The chair asked attendees to observe a moment of silence for a community member who passed away, named in the transcript as Rob Emerson. The chair then opened the public-comment period and set rules: three minutes per speaker, timers visible on the screen, and a request that speakers be kind and state the date and their mailing address.
"So moved," a councilmember said when moving approval of the agenda. The chair instructed the public comment rules: "You have 3 minutes to make it. We both have a timer on the screen. Be kind and respectful and state the date and mailing address."
