business would be considered after 11:00 PM. The
suspension of the rule would have to be by a unanimous
vote of the Board or Commission.

for this action. It would, first of all, insure public
input since some meetings now go well past midnight and
discourage public participation). Secondly, it would
assure that the same quality of consideration would be
given to items late on the agenda as those that are listed
early on the agenda. Thirdly, it would eliminate any
possible interpretation by the public that important
decisions are purposefully held to late hours for devious
reasons.
