The flow of work in some of the commissions seems to be erratic and during slow periods it is difficult to keep people's interests. Keep the number of commissions small and active, focused on some activity. Council member Kuettel said that she agreed with Council member Lamb. It is frustrating to leave your family and come to a meeting when there is little or nothing happening. Council member Talbot said that it is important for people to understand that commissions are groups of people who come together for a common purpose. He will be serving as a liaison to the Cable Commission. Falcon Heights is one often communities that have formed a commission and given a cable company a monopoly to operate. Technology is leapfrogging. He invited people to call him and he will pass information along at the monthly meetings. He went on to speak briefly about the Neighborhood Security Commission, a commission that is doing many things to get neighbors mobilized. Council member Kuettel reminded the cable audience that Council members' names and phone . numbers are listed in the local telephone book, on the City's web page and in the City's newsletter.
