Aurora Sentinel: They’re back. Public listening sessions at the beginning of city council meetings will return after being shut off as the result of a public dispute among lawmakers and activists, but there will be less time than before. 

Councilmember Françoise Bergan sponsored the move at Monday night’s city council meeting to bring back the “public invited to be heard” session at the beginning of city council meetings, which will now run from 6 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Bergan made a motion to change the rule after sponsoring a measure last month to remove all public comments from agenda items during the meeting.
