A Public Airing of Grievances
The Council President will request an "Airing of Grievances" to be heard at the Committee of the Whole with a to-be-determined frequency. Councilors are not obligated to attend, but are welcome to bring constructive feedback, ideas, requests, or other collegial-but-direct subjects directed to the Council President, Vice President, or for the entire body. This is not a venue for belligerent behavior, or public admonishment of an individual councilor for their personal or political disagreements.
This is a public venue to discuss concerns of the body before they become problems.
