It was requested that the reason for the reduced time for public forum was explained to the public as explained in an email response to the resident:
The public forum is usually 15 minutes but we are currently restricted on time for the meetings of 40 minutes. This does not mean that we cannot have additional meetings should the need arise. We could also pay for a subscription that would allow for longer meetings if required. We are monitoring the situation and we can certainly adapt if needed.
