She knows of <br /> 3 times when information was published repeatedly only to have residents <br /> 4 complain that they were not informed. <br /> 5 <br /> 6 Mr. Linke stated he feels the introduction and adoption of this ordinance should <br /> 7 be well known to residents if they have been paying attention. <br /> VilOrduno stated she would address the suggestion made by Ms. Hankner at <br /> 10 the next Council work session. In the meantime, per Council direction, she <br /> 11 will see that this item is put into the next City Newsletter. <br /> 12 <br /> 13 VOTE: 4 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried <br /> 14 <br /> 15 <br /> 16 <br /> 17 <br /> 18 <br /> 19 COUNCIL BUSINESS: <br /> 20 <br /> 21 A.
