Resident asks whether town will allow public questions at work sessions
Summary
Resident Sandy Willis asked the council whether members of the public may raise questions at council work sessions; the mayor said work sessions are intended as working meetings and that public participation is typically handled at regular meetings, but the mayor may recognize members of the public when time permits.
During the public-comment period, resident Sandy Willis asked whether the public can ask questions during council work sessions, saying she had been told previously that workshops do not allow public comment. Willis said she had attended multiple workshops over 18 years and wanted clarity on the practice.
The mayor replied that work sessions are generally meant for council work and typically do not include public comment, but that participants may raise their hand and the mayor will recognize them if time allows. "You can raise your hand and ask and if we have time, we can address it," the mayor said. Willis thanked the mayor for the clarification; no policy change was made at the meeting.
