City Council Regular Meeting — 03/14/05 Draft Minutes - Page 19 private citizens, and authorize staff to replay the tape on the Roseville Cable channel. Mayor Klausing questioned who had taped the meeting and whether it represented an unedited version of the meeting. Councilmember Schroeder advised that the tape, which had been edited via computer, had been provided by John Kysylyczyn and A1 Sands, with their individual tapes combined. Mayor Klausing, given the editing elements and potential deletion of material, spoke in opposition to the motion. Mayor Klausing opined that the Council needed to protect the airing of private citizen videos on the City's website; and recommended that the public access channel be used for airing of the video. Mayor Klausing cited several past scenarios related to the Roseville Concerned Citizens and their submission of tapes which were not broadcast by the City. John Kysylyczyn, 3083 N Victoria Street Mr. Kysylyczyn spoke to the Council's policy regarding open government and fiscal disclosure; opining that the meeting should have been video-taped, as it was a Council meeting where budgetary items were discussed. Mr. Kysylyczyn spoke to the quality and content of the tape, assuring Councilmembers that the content was complete, including breaks and recesses during the meeting. Councilmember Schroeder noted that he had originally shared Mayor Klausing's concerns related to the City Council endorsing private video tapes, but opined that since this was the only videotape of the meeting, it provided a distinction. Councilmember Ihlan concurred that it would have been more appropriate to have an official taping of the meeting, but opined that if this tape were of sufficient quality, it should be made available to the public. Mayor Klausing questioned whether someone from the City Council or staff should review the tape prior to its airing.
