George,

I would note that Council is always interested in getting the word out about every issue we deal with, so some of Ms. Fenton's comments are germane and helpful.

Her point about posting the minutes have no basis in fact, at least in the last 18 years. Finally, I am the only Caravati in the book, any citizen can call me anytime and I will go out of my way to get them any info they need. It is actually easier to call me or Jeanne Cox, who will respond the same way, than connecting to the net and going to the expense of printing out.

But I agree lets really try to make it easy to find out the full skinny on line - and the City is doing just that in a multi-year project to make City Hall fully integrated on line.

In the meantime, just call the Mayor, any Councilor, or Clerk of Council ( we do not bite, we are really nice people ) and you will get the info you need quicker, easier, and cheaper.

Thanks,

Blake Caravati (electronic mail, March 6, 2002)
