City Council Meeting Start Time

Opposed the 5:30 p.m. start time, saying it will be hard for people getting off work and traveling; asked that high-interest agenda items be placed at the end of agendas.

During item 10 discussion, questioned the political reasoning behind the earlier start time, saying 5:30 p.m. will exclude commuters and seniors who already struggle with 6:30.

Called the time change an atrocity, noting attendance is already shrinking and some people can't arrive until nearly 7 p.m. even now.

Said the earlier start silences commuters like her who drive from Fullerton, warned remote call-in amounts to distracted driving and technical disruptions, and predicted later meetings anyway.
