Update city council meeting rules for start times and agenda limits
In Plain English
The city council currently follows informal practices for meeting schedules and agenda items. This formal decision sets regular meetings to start at 6:30 p.m. and end at 11:00 p.m. If approved, presentations get limited to 3 per meeting and unfinished business automatically moves to the next meeting.

Why This Vote Matters
The council adopted new formal rules for running meetings, with meetings now required to start at 6:30 p.m., end by 11:00 p.m., and limited to three presentations per meeting. The decision passed 5-2, with Councilmembers Bates and Vice Mayor Boozé voting against the changes. These rules replace the informal practices the council has been using and will automatically move unfinished business to the next meeting if time runs out. This is a routine governance matter that affects how meetings are structured but doesn't involve city spending.
