Howard believes in open government and that Louisville's City Government has gone out of its way to ensure that its citizens are adequately informed and that they get the access to their government that they deserve. He stated that, if Louisville's citizens believe that Council needs to restate their position, this Resolution does so handle it. Mayer agreed with Howard. He felt that people, who apply for employment, have a certain privacy considerations that Council has to be sensitive to. He asked that the City Attorney provide Council with some information in terms of State law, how privacy considerations could be mediated. Maybe, when people apply they could request privacy. He felt that unless a person requests privacy, then the materials should be open. He thought that people need to know, when they apply, if all of their application materials are going to be given to the newspaper. He felt that a number of people might find that an invasion of their privacy. He felt that this is a delicate issue that pits two competing rights, the right to privacy vs. the right to open government. He stated that this Resolution does nothing to contradict that. Lathrop believes in open government and a right to privacy. He felt that in this particular instance Louisville's City Administrator, Annette Brand, handled it properly.

Davidson stated that both the City Administration and the City Clerk have made every effort to make every record that's possible public.
