Climate Action Commission Public Comment Format
At a glance
- What: whether to add an open public comment period at the start of meetings or keep the current practice of public comment at the end of each agenda item.
- Where it stands: undecided. One commissioner proposed 5-10 minutes up front for broad concerns (for example, a visitor's worry that older residents were not represented); others preferred the current format as more inclusive and less likely to take over the meeting.
- Next: Kate Bossingham will check with the City Clerk's office, and the topic may return in November.
