He questioned the semantics of Section 2; and asked Mr. Applegarth if he had reviewed the section along with parliamentary procedures.

He felt all voting items should be deferred till after 6:00 p.m. Jodi Monico- felt the Council should provide an atmosphere where comments are received respectfully and safely. A later public comment time would make it easier and more convenient for residents.
