business in the open government. I don't see it changing. I don't think we need a resolution stating it." Howard asked counsel whether or not the sic~r-;ng of this agreement was, in fact, proper. If it were not proper, whether or not this resolution appears to be proper? Williams replied that he was not present at the study session which has been referred to. Therefore, he could not give any cy~>inion on what may or may not have been the consensus of council at that time . "I understand Margaret's frustration. Perhaps there's a defect in the system. The council people who were in office from the election date until January 8, had all lawful authority to act as council. The consensus at that meeting was lawful. From t:h~-I t~.-ckground, the contents of this letter were in line with what was the consensus of the then council. The Mayor signed this letter with the understanding that that was the directive or consensus of council." "I don't interpret the letter as having that much of an impact. It's stating that this appears to be the position of the city that we want to have direct access." "In terms of the resolution that has been presented this evening, that's totally the call of this council. There's nothing improper whether they adopt this resolution or not." Hornl~<,,;t~el questioned, since neither Fauson or Carnival were at that meeting with David Skaggs, why either of them did not call the rest of Council? Hornbostel stated that when this has happened before, everyone has been notified of those meetings. "My concern is that I really believe that this issue is very controversial and it is something that people are very divided on, and I just want to a<~c~ --:, make a commitment to doing things along the lines of the state statutes." 6
