On-premise digital display of upcoming council agendas must be viewable *w/o user interaction* in order to satisfy the Open Meetings requirement as per § 551.050 and guidance from a rep at @TXAG OM dept. – c.f. @CityofFortWorth's re-ratification this year

4 tips on how to speak effectively at council public comment from the inimitable Harris County Council reporter @jen_rice_

[Jen Rice @jen_rice_]

yup 1) write it out & time yourself. you usually get 1 minute & it goes fast 2) make your demand clear at the top 3) share any unique relevant knowledge you have from your own life/work experience 4) if possible, try not to insult the people you're speaking to
