City commissioners on Tuesday will decide whether to change their meeting policies concerning public comment.

They will vote on a resolution which repeals existing policy and proposes changes to how residents may address the commission.

Each speaker would still have three minutes per item, but the mayor or majority could modify the length of time per speaker. Agenda items would have no cap on total duration of public comment, except that open public comment is capped at 30 minutes. The mayor or majority retain the flexibility to cap total duration on any item, or to extend open public comment. Public comment would also be allowed on work session items, changed from the current default that the majority must vote to allow public comment on work session items.
