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 visioning 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 />
