www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com The policy would eliminate a half-hour public comment period before each regular monthly board meeting and allot 90 minutes for speakers to address the board during each regular meeting, which typically begin at 7 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month.

Recent regular meetings adjourned after 10 p.m. and one, a few months ago, lasted until midnight, due in part to the long list of speakers. The comment portion of last week’s meeting lasted about an hour, with about 30 speakers and a couple of impromptu arguments involving members of the audience.
