RESIDENTS REQUESTS AND COMMENTS FROM THE FLOOR <br /> David Jahnke, 8428 Eastwood Road, stated he viewed the Work Session discussions regularly <br /> on television, to assist him in determining what issues to bring forward at the Council Meetings, <br /> however, the Work Session meeting that date had not been broadcast. He stated it was his <br /> understanding these meetings would be broadcast for the residents' information, and inquired <br /> why this Work Session was not made available. <br /> Mayor Coughlin stated it was the general consensus of the Council at two or three prior <br /> meetings, that these specific meetings would not be broadcast, due to the nature of the <br /> discussion, which was to be "off the top of their heads," and because of the Cable broadcasting <br /> schedule. He advised this would not be an ongoing occurrence, and none of the issues were to <br /> be hidden, however, a number of issues required consideration, and the Council desired to <br /> address these in somewhat of a brainstorming or envisioning process. He pointed out that the <br /> discussion had simply touched upon the "big picture"and budget considerations. <br /> Mr. Jahnke stated in light of the discussion regarding open communication, even if the <br /> discussion was only"off the top of their heads", it would be good to broadcast the meetings. He <br /> stated he hoped these meetings would be broadcast in the future, as he was of the understanding <br /> they would all be broadcast. <br /> Mr. Jahnke commented that many promises have been made which have not taken place. He <br /> stated the franchise fee was to be set aside for the road projects, and this was to be accomplished <br />
