Agenda Item Number 17
Comment
Please vote no on Item 17 due to the impact it would have on our right to political speech. It claims to
restrict comments for fairness & efficiency. Restricting our access to the democratic process is not fair
and efficiency should never trump democracy. Long meetings are hard but Council procedures already
pose significant barriers to participation in the democratic process. Meetings occur when most citizens
are at work, they require that citizens endanger themselves by publicly stating their address to comment
and in recent years have added the requirement that citizens sign up to comment ahead of time, by a
deadline, using electronics. All of these barriers require relief - we do not need more barriers. When large
numbers of citizens are causing long comment periods, it should suggest that Council is engaging in
governance that is not in line with the will of the people. Council needs to listen in these times rather than
suppressing political speech. Please vote no on Item 17.

Agenda Item Number 17
Comment
am ambivalent about this possible change. I can appreciate that large amounts of public comment
makes for very long city council sessions. This makes being on the council difficult. I would suggest that
you try first try limiting public comment to 2 minutes. Unless more than 40 sign up then limit it to 1.5
minutes. In 1.5 minutes a person can inform the council of their thoughts. Less than that amount of time
would make it difficult and would seriously limit our freedom to petition and inform the council .

Comment
Dear Mayor/Council,
Please do not limit your constituents ability and right to address you publicly and on the record. The fact
this is even on the agenda speaks volumes about those who placed it there.
We as community and taxpayers have the Constitutional right to be heard in person, in public, and on
record.
Vote against this measure. Whether it is driven by arrogance or tyranny, it is not in the best interests of the
citizens of Corpus Christi.

Agenda Item Number 17
Describe Feedback: We are signed up for the Reverse Alert
system and often receive alerts. Most don't
require community action and sometimes
they can be very frequent but we listen to
them and stay enrolled in the program
because there might be a time when there
is an emergency and community action is
needed. The public comment period is your
Reverse Alert. We ask that you treat it with
the same respect and seriousness that we
do with our Reverse Alerts. When very many
community members participate in the
public comment period, it's a warning that
there's an "emergency" and we want
Council action and leadership. Trimming
the public comment period doesn't solve
the problem of you getting too many reverse
alerts. Start solving the problem by asking
why you get so many Reverse Alerts. I
expect you to also honor the oath you took
upon taking office to respect the U.S.
Constitution and our First Amendment
rights. Curtailing free speech is a violation
of your oath.
