Councilmembers Supernaw, Mungo and Uranga also signaled that they're not supportive of returning to four Council meetings per month, an option suggested by Councilman Rex Richardson. Supernaw called Richardson's suggestion "counter-intuitive" on grounds that Supernaw's agenda item focused on making Council meetings "more efficient," not conducting more of them. Mungo said she appreciates the current schedule of one "dark Tuesday" per month on grounds it gives her an opportunity to meet and talk to the community.
When Richardson made a substitute motion to hold at least one public meeting on Council-meeting streamlining proposals, Mungo moved to derail it with a substitute-substitute motion directing management to invite public comments on the issue via email or digitally before the report returns to the City Council.
Supernaw, who'd earlier argued that the public already has the ability to email city management or Councilmembers on pending issues, agreed to Mungo's substitute-substitute which basically directs management to invite what's already allowed. It carried 8-0 (Andrews absent) with a report to the Council on the issue now due by the latter half of January.
