'cy�cv C� c . <br />March 3, 1994 <br />City Council <br />City of Lake Elmo <br />9765.- 45th St. N. <br />Lake Elmo, MN 55042 <br />Public Inquiry Item: Council Meeting of March 3, 1994 <br />Dear Council Members: <br />As a member of the Parks Commission, I would like you, as Council <br />Members, to know that I am not receiving copies of Council Agenda <br />when it pertains to park issues. I am requesting that all agenda <br />pertaining to parks issues (including follow-up City Council <br />meetings pertaining to parks recommendations) be mailed to <br />individual City Parks Commissioners. <br />I have requested this agenda through discussions with City staff. <br />I have been told that for a fee of $15.00 I may receive all <br />minutes and agenda. That is punitive to me, a volunteer. I <br />have been told it is on cable. I do not have cable. I have <br />been told to call when I want to know when an item will be on <br />the agenda. That is a punitive request given the time lapse <br />between when we take action and when recommendations are put , <br />on Council agenda. I am busy: Sometimes it is three Council <br />meetings later. I want to work with you in a communicative, <br />efficient manner. I need the agenda to do that. <br />My time is valuable, my appointment, by yourselves to this <br />commission means to me that you value my input. When I spend <br />many hours researching issues, attending meetings, voting on <br />motions, I want the opportunity to convey my findings to the <br />Council on issues should they need.my clarification. <br />I have been told by City staff that these mailings are not cost <br />effective. Cost effectiveness certainly addressess the smooth <br />functioning and the conveyance of information between <br />governmental bodies. <br />Respectfully submi e <br />Judy Bkford <br />Lake Elmo Parks Commissioner <br />See Attached page for <br />it --Not Part of Public <br />
