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.
