Frustration spilled out when Council Member said it was difficult to keep track of past meetings because theres no official minutes.

The check acknowledged the frustration and shes moving forward with the plans. This has been a real on the job learning experience. This was my first year in office. There was disagreement with whats the best practice how detailed the minutes should be. Her job is to present an accurate record of what happened and that doesnt necessarily recording the meeting verbatim. We have record setting, eight hour, 10 hour plus meetings, doing verbatim doesnt make sense. Theres not much the city can go to get her to produce the minutes. Shes an elected official so its up to the voters. While the minutes may not be in the format the people are accustomed to the meetings are available for anyone to watch online.
