A very important item with regards to governmental transparency is up for discussion at the Council Committee meeting on Tuesday 8/21/12 at 7:00PM.
That item is to consider restoring detailed minutes of city council, committee, and some other meetings.
Of the currently sitting council members the following voted for what we have now which denies the citizens a complete record of what has transpired: Kuhn, Vaught, Sandifer, Neighbor and Sawyer. These five basically voted against government transparency.
Only council members Pflumm and Distler voted to keep the detailed minutes, thus insuring more open government.
Be there Tuesday, and let's work to get those detailed minutes restored.
