Move agenda review before public comment period
In Plain English
The city council currently discusses agenda changes after the public comment period ends. This means residents must sit through all public comments before learning if items they care about have been postponed, moved, or canceled. If approved, the council announces agenda changes first so residents know the meeting's actual schedule upfront.

Why This Vote Matters
The council voted to announce agenda changes at the start of meetings rather than after public comment ends. This means residents will learn upfront if items they came to speak about have been postponed, moved, or canceled, instead of having to sit through all public comments first. The change passed with broad support in a 5-1 vote, with only Councilmember Boozé dissenting and Councilmember Beckles absent. This is a procedural adjustment that could save residents time by letting them know the meeting's actual schedule immediately.
