“Without freedom of thought, there can be no such thing as wisdom – and no such thing as public liberty without freedom of speech.” – Benjamin Franklin.

As we continue to transform the culture at Town Hall, I would like to make a motion to eliminate the process where the public needs to fill out pink (opposition), green (in favor), and yellow (informational) forms. The public should be able to speak on any subject without identifying their position beforehand. Additionally, staff shall utilize an actual clock that the public can see the time instead of the current buzzer. The clock system is used at the Board of County Commissioners, we will use it for public comments and council discussions. I would like for these changes to start in our May Council meeting.
