City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />January 22, 2024 <br />Page 3 of 3 <br />Mayor Pro Tern Fahey agreed that perhaps this doesn't need a resolution it can just be <br />guidelines. <br />Councilmember Kern would like to consider more options for public comment. <br />Councilmember Leh agreed having a predictable ending time of meetings makes sense. <br />Councilmember Hoefner stated he thinks that creating too complicated a process could <br />be problematic and the existing Rules of Procedure include enough leeway and will <br />work as currently written. <br />Councilmember Leh agreed but noted that may not bring clarity for the public. <br />Members discussed options for meeting end times and a process for this. <br />Members agreed to keep meeting breaks to five minutes. <br />Members agreed to an 8 pm check in at meetings to determine how many more items <br />will be handled during a meeting. Any councilmember can make a motion to adjourn at <br />any time and there would be a vote to continue or adjourn, but no hard stop was set for <br />meetings. <br />Members asked staff to create Council guidelines to consider and determine the best <br />place to include that information. <br />City Manager Durbin asked if Council would like some process around how emails to <br />Council are handled. Staff will bring that back for consideration. <br />Councilmember Dickinson stated he understands that residents can get frustrated with <br />the limited ability to give public comments, but he noted that residents are giving <br />evidence but there is no practical way have an ongoing conversation during a meeting <br />Members asked staff to look at options on how public comments could be taken. <br />ADJOURN <br />Members adjourned at 9:33 pm. <br />n <br />OF lLp <br />Christop M.
