Subject:KEEP 3 MIN. PER PERSON PUBLIC COMMENT
Date:Sunday, September 22, 2024 6:16:16 PM
Dear AG City Council,
As a citizen living in Arroyo Grande for over 50 years, I have a concern,
along with many others, over the proposed limit of public comment changing
from 3 minutes down to 1 minute per person. One minute is not enough
time to give your name, express a concern, and give reasons for it. It is a
freedom for citizens of AG to express their concerns to council members
who they elected to represent them.
The average time in public comments was about 7 minutes for each
meeting. The lengthy meeting dealt with a highly controversial issue of flying
special interest flags which should have been avoided by the council limiting
only the United States, California, and Arroyo Grande flags to be flown.
Please vote for our AG citizens to have their voices heard by keeping the 3
minutes per person for public comments time at the beginning of each AG
council meeting,
Blessings,
Karen Miller

Dear AG City Council,
I am in favor of keeping the 3-minute public comment time for addressing issues
to the AG City Council. I hope you will leave the speaking time as is and NOT change
it to 1 minute. Who can express any issue properly in just 1 minute? Please make a
common sense decision, and leave our comment time to 3 minutes.
Best Regards,
Jennifer Nogle Thompson
