Corpus Christi City Council will meet Jan. 20, but procedures for public comment at council meetings will change later this month.
This past Tuesday, council members passed a motion to move the General Public Comment Session from 5:30 p.m. to noon. The time allowed for each speaker was also modified by the motion.
Updated procedures for Public Comment at Council meetings will go into effect January 27:
- If public speakers choose to comment on an agenda item during the General Public Comment session, they will not be allowed to speak again when the Council is considering the item.
- All in-person speakers are allocated 3 minutes to speak.
- For call-in or Webex speakers, residents are allowed up to 3 minutes to speak. Non-residents will have up to 1 minute.
- Registration to speak will be required only for the noon General Public Comment Session. Speakers do not have to register to speak on a specific agenda item when it is being considered by the Council.
Registration is available online at CorpusChristiTX.gov/signin or in person at the kiosk located in City Hall. Registration is open from 8 a.m. Mondays to 11 a.m. Tuesdays when there is a City Council meeting.
