A committee member introduced a drafted proposal describing a new flow for first readings: motion to introduce, clerk reads title/synopsis, vote to introduce, staff presentation, council questions, limited public comment (proposal initially suggested 30 minutes), and then options for council discussion or postponement. The proposer asked for feedback from council staff and members.
