Comment I made on my "Contrast" post

A local blogger points out that the Commission policy used to be to allow public comment of 3 minutes per heading (e.g. new business, public hearings, etc.) You would have to squeeze all your comments on perhaps 5 items into that three minutes (and in a crazy twist, before the City Commission commented.) To be fair, the current policy allows comments on each item and limits them to 2 minutes. But this is still more restrictive than before the time that Vice Mayor Golden joined the Commission. Three minutes per item was the previous limit.

I am for increased opportunities for public input and would propose that the Commission have a "listening" meeting once a month where nothing is on the agenda but public comment.
