Summary Deputy
General Counsel Peggy Sidman explained the difference in the Council’s
ability to impose requirements on speaking in the Public Comment period
(completely voluntary; Council is offering the privilege of speaking to
citizens and may impose time and manner restrictions) versus Public Hearings
and Public Participation, which are mandated by state law and may not be
subjected to conditions. Various options for identifying a citizen’s place of
residence in a less explicit manner (i.e. by zip code, Council district or street
name without a house number) were discussed. Ethics Officer Carla Miller
reported that the Ethics Commission sees a “chilling effect” from the
requirement to audibly state a specific home address in a public meeting
broadcast over television and the internet, particularly for women and
children and especially in the context of especially controversial issues
where there may be a potential for retaliation against a speaker. Several
council members suggested that technology might be used to display the addresses
on the written speaker cards to the council members without displaying them
to the public, thus eliminating the need for the address to be given audibly. After a
lengthy discussion about the requirement to disclose one’s address during
public comment and public hearings, this bill was deferred at the
request of CM Becton until the language can be clarified. |

Bill
Summary PHS: CM R. Brown presented his
reasoning for this moratorium on street closures for block parties: the need
to reformulate the permit process to ensure public safety. CM Wilson asked if
those who already hold permits will be grandfathered in or if they will have
to cancel their events. OGC will look into the answer. CM Becton expressed
his concern that in putting a moratorium on all permits, the ‘good’ are being
punished for the behavior of a few ‘bad apples’. Mr. Brown said that his
intent is to improve an ineffective ordinance quickly, in collaboration with
JSO, to find a good permit process that is good for the whole city. Approve 7-0 |
