Thank you for calling out the poor hearing time management issue. This hearing was one of the worst I've ever seen in this regard. This malady afflicts many meeting processes across the city, from the ANC level up to boards and commissions, agencies, and sometimes Council itself. Correcting this never comes from a "delicate touch," as a commenter suggested above, but rather from a firmer hand -- politely professional, but firm. Every single civic meeting of any level has them: the people that will go on and on if not controlled and told to stop, eating into everyone else's time, cascading the time burglary without regard to consideration of others. The process is there to serve everyone, not some more than others.
