On Jan. 20 the Blue Lake City Council voted to add a public-comment slot between agenda items 2 and 3, a change the mayor said "will allow the public to comment on the closed session." Mayor Swatzky announced the amendment after a motion and second, and the council approved the change by voice vote.
Council discussion on the procedural change began when a council member moved to insert the comment period into the agenda. Mayor Swatzky confirmed the motion and noted the purpose: "We've added public comment in between items 2 and 3. This will allow the public to comment on the closed session." The mayor put the question and the council recorded the approval by a voice vote. The meeting proceeded later to a closed session as the agenda indicated.
