FREDERICK, Md. (AP) -- The mayor of Frederick is proposing giving residents more time to speak their minds at public meetings.

The Frederick News-Post says the mayor and the Board of Aldermen will finalize the changes at a public meeting.
Alderwoman Donna Kuzemchak says it's important that the same rules apply to everyone who speaks.
