Mayor, Deputy Mayor, Commissioners, and City Manager, The lack of full, substantive
written meeting minutes provides a barrier to our Montana Constitutional right to know, andparticipate. Quality written meeting minutes should include direction given to City Staff by
members of the City Commission. Meeting minutes should be a document that a resident canread and understand what decisions were made, who proposed what actions were to be taken,
and what concerns were expressed. Requiring residents to spend 3, 4, or 6 hours watching avideo recording in order to stay informed is not acceptable. Bring back full, substantive
written meeting minutes! Thank you,
