Committee Member <br /> Bode requested that the Chair clarify the role of the Committee. Chair Brenner stated <br /> that the Committee may research as much internal processes of the City as they desire <br /> and make via.ble recommenda.tions to Council. Chair Brenner again stated that, at a <br /> minimum, the Committee would be researching the above stated items. Committee <br /> Member Bode questioned the definition of communication. Chair Brenner stated that <br /> coxnmunication was not only for residents but of the City, but the general public an.d <br /> providing the opportunity of the general public two (2) communications with the City. <br /> ' Chair Brenner stated that she was surprised to see $10,000 budgeted for the Committee. <br /> Comxnittee Member Fa.irbrother stated that the Council removed this dollar amount at <br /> their meeting.

A suggestion was made <br /> regarding inviting outside individuals participation in providing information and <br /> suggestions. The Chair felt that this was a viable option, <br /> 2. Progress Reports <br /> Chair Brenner stated that she would attend Council meetings to provide same. <br /> 3. Current Commurucations Resources <br /> Chair Brenner briefly reviewed with the Cornmittee a list of the current communications <br /> resources that the City has available. Chair Brenner stated that the list contained items <br /> tha.t she was aware of at the time she served on Council.
