(M. Manson, City Manager) City Manager Manson addressed council stating that she had received several comments from council members wishing to have a means to time citizens wishing to speak during citizen's comments and agenda items. She reported that the time allowed per rules of procedure was three minutes for speakers and six minutes for group representatives. Manson demonstrated a timer that could be set by an iPad for persons wishing to speak. The timer would count down and would be visible from the podium as well as the large overhead screen. Manson noted that this application was free; there were other applications but they were tied to the audio system or required the purchase of a timing clock/screen which would be additional funding. Direction from council was to further investigate the possibility of having a timer that would have smaller font and be visible to the speaker either from the podium or overhead.
