COUNCILMEMBERS'.REPORTS
Councilmember Herfert suggested reformatting the public
testimony portion of the public hearings. There are
many citizens who wish to make a comment or ask a question
Herfert
and they are neither in favor of or in opposition to the
matter at hand.
City Attorney stated that there are hearings in
which it would be quite acceptable to simply ask for
comments. .Therefore, unless a hearing requires pros
and cons (such as appeal hearings, assessment hearings),
staff will indicate a comment period whenever possible.
Councilmember Wong remarked that since the meetings
Wong
are now cablecast, perhaps there is a way to have the
meetings even more accessible to the public, via call in
phone or video. Staff was directed to look into the
possiblities.
