Having a well-defined drop schedule makes it seem fair to the players. They don't like having to grovel for a break or feel like they are getting screwed if the floor doesn't do it. Also, MAKE THE GAME A TIME GAME. This keeps games going, especially short. Time pots may not make sense at 30-60, but if players want to do it, let them.

Its a time game already, but I wonder if that would be adventitious at the lower level of 15/30 as well. In AC the game levels switch to time much earlier than they do in LV - it would be breaking the mold but it may encourage a greater 15/30 base. Hmmm.... I like. I also think having the dealer collect time from time pots rather than having a player put it up is a fantastic solution.

The job offer still stand for you Sucker, you seem to know what you are doing.

The last time I played 30/60 at this place, it took 15 minutes at least to have a qualifying time pot and nitted up the game ridiculously. This can be a real concern when the games are semi-nitty anyway. The AC way of taking half the time from two pots instead of all from one may be better. It's possible time pots are inferior to just paying for non-nittification purposes but I like time pots in general (though the policy at this place where a player needs to pay the time first out of his stack and then is reimbursed by the winner of the pot is convoluted - it needs to be where the dealer takes the time from the qualifying pot (Bellagio way) or the winner of the pot pays the time to the dealer (Commerce way)).
