We encourage everyone to check it on a more regular basis. For example, <br />recently we saw that we had to revise the schedule a little bit regarding the Deacon's site. It's a <br />very important issue as everyone can appreciate. There are a series of ineetings of our different <br />Boaxds and Commissions that have to review. Look at the website. The schedule has been <br />changed. All meetings are public meetings. People have a chance to observe, not necessarily <br />participate, depending on the Board or Commission. Then on August 8t" we have a public <br />hearing currently slated and then Council is anticipating being in a position where it would be <br />able to vote the matter to certify it over to the Board of Elections the following week on the 15tn <br />But there's a lot of heavy work that's done ahead of time by the Boards and Commissions. <br />So again, that's just one example on the website. We have been trying to post that. We have also <br />been sending out e-mail blasts. I think that people have noted that Jeff Thomas has been very <br />good about that. And then for over a month now we have been providing the same packets of <br />information Council receives on a weekly basis, also being posted on the website. We encourage <br />people to check that out. We always like the feedback. We think that it provides a lot better line <br />of communication in real time for our residents. <br />COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL PRESIDENT BUCKHOLTZ <br />Along those lines, in Jeff's absence, Council President Buckholtz asked Diane if there's an <br />interactive portion of that website. In other words, residents have a way to immediately in real <br />time contact someone at the Village on punchlist items? <br />Mrs. Wolgamuth replied, I don't think so. There's a contactus e-mail. But it's just an e-mail. <br />Council President Buckholtz asked, so there's not an immediate dialogue on there now?
