I am unable to obtain Agenda Information regarding any of these meetings so it is not easy for the PUBLIC to participate and be informed. The limited amount of information available to citizens via the city web page is not available as the city web page is not working.

For those of you with pending issues and concerns before the City Council it is advised that you find out what is on the Agenda. I know most of us are busy with holidays and family details but this would be a perfect time for the City Staff and Council to pass something by having "Computer Upgrades" and distracted Citizens converge.

Now that the council and Mayor have been re-designated so to speak. I won't say they have a mandate with such low voter turn out, it is important to see to it they EARN the right to stay on the Council and in their Jobs.
