We are looking into it. It may come down to what the definition of 'thoroughly discussed' is though. They discussed it at a work session and briefly at the meeting Monday. I don't consider that thoroughly, but they may. :o(<BR/><BR/>Thomas, I too wonder why the city posted the question on their site and received overwhelming support for the idea, but won't let the public come and speak at an open hearing. That's what bothers me the most. We won't give up though and are pursuing a couple of different avenues. I'll let you know if, no <B>when</B>, we make any progress.<BR/><BR/>~BeckyKatoChickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02739743099019653687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2680664903011977089.post-55009577966572310972009-02-10T13:12:00.000-08:002009-02-10T13:12:00.000-08:00You may want to look into how the city council handled this issue. According to the Mankato City Code, the proceedings of the City Council shall be conducted in accordance with Robert's Rules of Order,<BR/><BR/>http://www.ci.mankato.mn.us/CityCode/cityCode.aspx?sectionNum=2.23<BR/><BR/>The fundamental right of deliberative assemblies require all questions to be thoroughly discussed before taking action!Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09167361273930091282noreply@blogger.com
