Summary
Council wants a formal public comment policy: sign-in sheets (with a virtual option), three-minute limits per person per topic, one comment per agenda item, and fewer channels (email, in-person, Zoom) so comments aren't missed. Some members floated a separate public-comment period before the meeting, like San Antonio and the county council.

Residents get clearer, fairer rules on when and how they can be heard.
