Council Member Prather provided comments regarding Roberts rules of order and the possibility of enacting time limits or number of times each council member can speak on an item. Mayor Hughson commented on personal responsibility and that all council members should come prepared, be ready, bring notes, and be concise. Council Member Baker expressed his concern with Roberts rules of order and feels this is an oppressive measure that limits debate.

Mayor Hughson stated she does not see the virtual aspect of these meetings going away, but she would like to see council members return to the dais.
