President Boyer urged the council members to check their e-mails for a message from her soliciting topics for upcoming Lunch and Learns. The consensus of council members with whom she has had conversation is a preference to hold the Lunch and Learns only on the Monday of committee weeks. Ms. Boyer announced that no shade meetings or other special meetings will be scheduled on the next two City Council meeting days due to the expected length of the meetings as the human rights ordinance is debated and has its public hearings. Any additional meetings that must be held will be scheduled for the Mondays of Council weeks. She briefly described the rules of procedure for the public comment and public hearings on the human rights ordinance to evenly divide the speaking time among the pro, con and undecided speakers until all speakers have spoken or until the Council adjourns as prescribed at midnight.
