lVIINI STUDY SESSION
C®1VIIVIUNITY INPUT -PUBLIC CO1VIlVIENT
The Council- discussed the procedure to be followed during the .Public
Comment portion of the meetings. Since recent State Legislation precludes
discussion or taking action on items not listed on the agenda posted 72 hours
prior to a meeting, there has been no immediate response to citizen inquiry
and comment dunng that segment of the Council meetings.
Of particular concern is the situation where a misunderstanding of situations
and'/or events is articulated as fact. during this portion of the meetings. Such
misstatements of fact. have not been addressed by the.Council or staff, thus
leaving the television audience.and the attendees with inaccurate information.
It was Council consensus that the City Manager would give immediate
response when possible or respond early in the subsequent meeting.
Community Inyut- Other Methods' There was discussion of developing some
land of .public input mechanism through the use of cards to be.left with citizens
at the~time of employee/resident contact.,, The Council directed staff.to place
this on a future agenda. for further discussion and action.
