Attendees at Sullivan City Council meetings will have new rules to follow for the public comment period after the council passed a new ordinance on October 27. 

The new ordinance will limit individual comments to three  minutes each and the total public comment period will be limited to 30 minutes. The rule came after several of the last city council meetings had public comment periods that lasted more than an hour and involved multiple people speaking at multiple times. Mayor Mike Mossman, who has been frustrated by the lengthy period of public comment, said he hoped the new rule would help the council stay on track in doing city business.
