( KTRS ) Ferguson residents have mixed feelings about a proposed agreement with the U.S. Justice Department that calls for changes to police practices.

About 100 people crammed into Ferguson City Hall chambers Tuesday for the first public meeting since the proposal was announced last week, more were turned away due to lack of space.

Speakers were split on whether the city should adopt the proposal, as people on both sides are worried it could cause even more financial hardship for the St. Louis suburb already scrambling to deal with a $2.8 million deficit.

Ferguson has been in the national spotlight since 2014, when 18-year-old Michael Brown was fatally shot by officer Darren Wilson.
