The council adopted an ordinance moving regular meetings to the first four Tuesdays with afternoon sessions, which critics say shuts working residents out of evening comment. Several speakers demanded evening sessions, and the council agreed to try an afternoon start for next week's short agenda while committing to revisit the issue.
