STEUBENVILLE — City Council appears to be moving toward a compromise with its public forum guidelines.
Two weeks ago, citing a lack of support, council indefinitely tabled the final reading of a proposal by 1st Ward Councilwoman Asantewa Anyabwile to repeal the existing public forum rules, which require anyone wishing to address council during the public comment period to sign up by 4 p.m. the Friday prior to a meeting. Anyabwile’s proposal had called for creating new rules, but none had been drafted prior to the measure being brought to council floor.
Anyabwile convened a meeting of council as a whole Tuesday to discuss the rules and whether it’s time to change them prior to their regular council meeting.
