He hoped that the public could be involved in <br /> the JDA's planning process going forward. <br /> Mayor Grant commented on the Council was supposed to be openly listening to each other, but <br /> this meeting began by removing two items from the agenda that one Councilmember wanted to <br /> discuss. He hoped in the future the Council could and would discuss items. He believed it was <br /> disrespectful to remove agenda items that a Councilmember wanted to discuss. <br /> Mayor Grant reported there was a comment made about the Fernwood Channel, retention pond. <br /> He discussed the condition of this channel stating he understood it needed to be dredged. <br /> Mayor Grant explained the Council canceled the second meeting in January and February. He <br /> indicated the Council took this action the past several years and this action could be found in the <br /> December minutes.

He stated canceling these meetings, when there are no items to <br /> discuss, allowed staff to be home with their families. <br /> Mayor Grant encouraged the Council to move beyond 3-2 votes. He hoped the Council would be <br /> able to find a way to work together amicably going forward. <br /> Mayor Grant welcomed the new Planning Commission and PTRC members to the City.
