This item concerns a procedural change for public comments during City Council meetings in Jacksonville, Duval. The proposed change, based on Ordinance 2022-475-E, will affect when and how the public can speak. Public comments will be limited to three minutes per person and will occur after economic development legislation or the Consent Agenda. The total public comment period will be up to one and a half hours, with a deadline for speaker cards 60 minutes after the meeting starts. This is a planned procedural update, not a construction project. No specific work for contractors or suppliers is outlined at this stage. Businesses interested in civic processes or government relations may find it beneficial to monitor future council meeting procedures.
