Rules committee approves 4-minute public comment limit at Oct. 28 meeting
Indianapolis — During the Oct. 28 Rules Committee meeting, Councilor Nielsen moved to amend the meeting's public-comment rules to increase each speaker's time from two minutes to four minutes. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote; the chair directed staff to record the amended rule in the meeting minutes and implemented the four-minute time limit for the remainder of the session.

Why it matters: The extension was offered to allow more detailed public testimony on sensitive topics under discussion, including workplace harassment policy reforms and employee protections. The vote was taken by voice; numerical tallies were not recorded in the transcript.
