In response to Vice Mayor Vella's inquiry, Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated three minutes for the first six speakers, then two minutes for seven speakers and above. Vice Mayor Vella stated: "limit to one minute for items with 13 or more speakers" would be stricken. Mayor Spencer stated there are times when speakers turn in slips at the last minute; if a speaker happens to be number seven, they will only get two minutes. Councilmember Oddie stated that is precisely the reason for bright line rules. Mayor Spencer and Councilmember Matarrese expressed that they do not support the tiered method. The Council agreed that there are no changes to the Consent portion of the rules.

The Council agreed that there were no changes to the Counting votes. Councilmembers Ezzy Ashcraft, Oddie, and Matarrese agreed to the 11:00 p.m. end time.
