O-6 The Massachusetts State House has adopted an electronic public comment display system which projects a list of speakers, the speaker’s affiliation, and a timer; and During Cambridge City Council meetings and committee hearings there is presently no system which clearly displays a speaker's name and affiliation for the public present at the meeting or watching at home; and The City Council meetings and committee hearings have no system for allowing the public comment speaker to see how much of the allotted three minutes remains during their comment; and An electronic public comment display system installed in the Sullivan Chamber of City Hall would improve the clarity and logistics surrounding public commentary during City Council meetings and committee hearings; now therefore be it That the City Manager be and hereby is requested to coordinate with the Clerk’s Office and the appropriate departments to implement within three months an electronic public comment display in the Sullivan Chamber, listing the speaker’s name and affiliation as well as a timer.
