Swansonmej, the agenda is posted on the front of City Hall the Friday before the meeting. Council members also get an information packet on Friday before the meeting. I think they have to post the agenda to comply with open meeting laws.

And how on earth were you able to remember all that information about the public comments? You must have been up late putting the story together. Thanks!

Citizens use first and second public-comment periods

In response to discussion about and a decision to increase the number of public-comment periods in a Jordan City Council meeting, more than a dozen citizens turned out Monday night to talk to or watch the council in person.

One citizen warned the council that its seats would be targeted during next year's election.

Another shamed the council for apparently failing to serve the residents of Jordan.
