Different council members could take leadership of discussion section on each of the recommendations. 8.2 - suggestion for restructuring Public Forum + Public meetings Proposal to try an experiment with the Public Forum and public council meeting in LA. Instead of the current arrangement of a meeting for listening and then a meeting for talking, we could divide a 4 hour meeting up into topical sections.
