Feedback Questions Answered
Your opponent states in a campaign postcard that you missed 30% of the city council meetings. Thought I'd check her facts by asking you whether the information is correct and if there is more to it than meets the eye.

The answer is no, this is not correct. Her number includes Special Council Meeting which are meetings typically held prior to the Finance and Economic Development Committee Meetings. Their purpose is to to handle procedural issues that occur between regular Council Meetings. Since I am not currently on this committee I do not always attend. Typical issues handled in these special Council Meetings are renewal of liquor licenses, permit approvals and other procedural items that must have council approval. If they were on the regular Council Meeting agenda they would be on the consent agenda with no discussion.

I went back and calculated that I have missed 7% of the total Council Meeting minutes since I was elected four years ago.
