Subject: The Public Hearing is for the public, not for aldermanic comments and questions.
Alderman Dowd:
The Agenda for the Public Hearing does not call for comments and questions from aldermen.
The Public Hearing requires an explanation of the subject by city staff or anyone knowledgeable
on the subject, followed by comment and questions, if any, from the public.
I don't know when the aldermanic comments during the Public hearings crept into the agenda,
but this must stop. Plenty of time for the aldermen to comment and ask questions during their
aldermanic meetings
As chairman, you should hold aldermen comments and questions until the aldermanic committee
and board meetings where the legislation is debated.
