<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Kaufhold asked what the benefit is of holding a reception for the candidates. Troha replied that <br />it's valuable for the candidates to meet the citizens of the City and for the COlUlcil to see the <br />candidates in different situations. Benke added that typically there are three candidates that are <br />technically qualified for the position, but the reception helps with finding out who has the correct <br />chemistry to work well with the Council and staff. <br /> <br />Harreld asked if the recent survey asked how people would like to be informed for <br />announcements. Bauman suggested that newsletters and the web are great ways to get <br />information, but noted that both have limitations in that the newsletter is once a year and not <br />every citizen has access to the Internet. Benke added that the City is also competing against <br />other media and it may be difficult to get our information out. Harmon suggested that putting <br />announcements and articles into the newspapers are good ways to get information to the citizens, <br />and they can ask staff to print off pages from the City's website. Harreld asked if they could <br />recommend citizens to call in and receive information. Lavandowska replied that the front desk <br />staff would be happy to help with distributing information, and they currently print off <br />information from the Web and mail it to several citizens in the City that do not have access to the <br />Internet. Witkowski suggested that the Bulletin would be a good place to post information. <br />Bauman added that if there is a club or chamber that would like to have a Council member corne <br />and answer questions she would be willing to attend and she other Council members would also <br />attend if they are available. <br /> <br />Chamber of Commerce Report <br /> <br />Nustad reported that the Chamber is asking citizens to vote for the transportation amendment in <br />November. This would not increase taxes, but redirect them. Harreld asked where the taxes that <br />are collected are currently going. Nustad replied that they are going into the general fund. <br />Sculthorp pointed out that by redirecting this money, taxes will have to be raised to make up for <br />the shortage, and he therefore he would not support this initiative. <br /> <br />Business Council <br /> <br />Black announced that the next Business Council meeting would be held on October 31 st at the <br />Family Service Center starting at 7:30 am. <br /> <br />Town Hall Meeting <br /> <br />Harreld said that she had a good time at the meeting. Harmon indicated that she would like to <br />see younger citizens at the meeting. Bauman agreed that younger citizens are needed and <br />suggested that maybe the City needs to look at that time the meeting is held. <br /> <br />Adjournment <br /> <br />The meeting was adjourned at 8:47 a.m. <br />Page 5 of5 <br />
