Test time limits on council agenda items for 3 months
In Plain English
Council meetings currently have no time limits and can run very long. The pilot program would set time limits on discussion items to make meetings shorter and more predictable. Advisory items would move to the third Tuesday of each month, and holdover items would be discussed together at the start.
