Regular City Council Meeting Monday, August 24, 2015 Page 17 Councilmember Willmus asked if Councilmember Laliberte felt her questions had been addressed sufficiently in this draft document. Councilmember Laliberte responded that not sufficiently in the pilot live site, with work still needed to address those clarifications and addressing the intent of the page and when and if to expect follow-up responses. Before going live, Councilmember Willmus expressed his preference to have the entire CEC look at the policy document and the site to see if there were other things needing to be addressed and determine if there was anything missed.

Councilmember McGehee agreed with comments of her col- leagues so far during this discussion, especially the need for additional clarifica- tion about the idea page for participants to say what they think, and those sections that assured a response if and when applicable. Councilmember McGehee ex- pressed less concern in the same brand or logo being used than in the more im- portant issue to use different colors or identification to indicate which particular component you were in and what to expect if asking a specific question and a timeframe to receive a response. Councilmember McGehee suggested a visual identification may be most useful in this case. Councilmember McGehee expressed some confusion related to data retention as to what would be available for future reference, opining that this then became
