Impact analysis
It's unclear if this will cost taxpayers any money, but it could make meetings run longer and be less productive.
Honestly, nobody really benefits here, but maybe the mayor benefits from having more control over meeting discussions.
Citizens who want to speak at meetings might be harmed if the mayor ignores the new rules and cuts them off or doesn't let them speak.
