Why no public to join??
I am sure a councilmember can weigh in with additional details, but from my perspective as someone who has covered city council since 2009: Scheduling committee meetings has always been a struggle because of the timing with use of the council chambers for municipal court during the day. It used to be, pre-COVID, that the meetings were held in-person at the same time in three different rooms in the evening — not great for public viewing. By holding them virtually,everyone can watch each meeting if they so desire. And there is no public comment taken, so it makes sense in many ways to have these continue virtually. (Those who don’t have a device to watch the meetings on can go to the city council conference room to watch, if they want.) — Teresa Wippel, publisher
