The Springfield City Council is considering clarifications of its meeting procedures, including what is allowed during public comment.
The council’s Committee of the Whole placed the issue on the debate agenda for next week’s council meeting.
The ordinance would make a number of changes to the city’s rules, including simplifying majority votes for some council actions and listing prohibited conduct during public comment.
Many of the changes make longtime city policy official, such as the rotation of committees.
Alderwoman Erin Conley said the goal is to make the operation of public meetings more consistent.
Additional revisions are possible before next week’s meeting.
