SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) -- The City Council abandoned their plan to move public input to the end of its weekly agenda.
Instead, a compromise measure was forwarded that would keep public where it is now but limit it to 30 minutes and giving the speakers three minutes to speak.
It would also allow citizens to comment on ordinances during the first reading instead of only at the second reading.
Councilors withdrew other pending ordinances that would have moved public input to the end of the meeting or alternated public input monthly from the front to the back of the meeting.
