I think it's important all members of council weigh in on this. I think they should be here tonight," Stewart said.<br /><br /> <br /><br />What is disheartening to me is that I received less than 24 hours' notice of this meeting, as did Krischer. Gibbs received no notification at all. Perhaps this meeting was discussed earlier in the month by Stewart, Burkhard and others within one of their private "caucus" meetings, but failing to get everyone in Council on the same page, especially for something as significant as this, is the most disheartening of all to me. Once again, it shows a lack of ability to adequately plan. Or a deliberate attempt to avoid public comment and discussion.MARK F.
