It's worse!!!  After this waste of time, if citizens are attempting to
speak on a serious topic, there's a two minute limit on each citizen's
speech, unless the citizen is talking about something that the council is
getting ready to vote in favor of, then they are more lenient on the
time-limit. 

The LA Citylink BBS 213-237-0974, has the city council agendas and
possibly the rules.
