Approval of Special Meeting on February 28, 2012 from 6:00— 7:00 PM PUBLIC COMMENTS ON ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA Alan Sobel, 1408 Kennedy Avenue, Louisville, CO, continued the filibuster, which he began on April 6, 2010. It was his belief there is collusion between the City of Louisville, Comcast Television and the Greater Metro Telecommunications Consortium (GMTC), which protects the interests of Comcast Television and not the citizens of the City of Louisville. He referenced the January 17, 2012 City Council meeting and City Manager Fleming's remarks, regarding his January 4, 2011 letter to Mayor Sisk. This letter documented Comcast's lack of compliance. City Manager Fleming responded to Mr. Sobel in November of 2011 however, Mr. Sobel did not think the response was relevant to his request. He did not believe public comment at a City Council meeting was an efficient way to conduct a conversation. He stated he would stand in witness to the City officials promoting the interest of Comcast Cable Television and not the interest of the citizens. Deborah Fahey, 1118 W.
