City Council Meeting Minutes February 18, 2014 Page 2 of 23 after the Comcast Cable Franchise Negotiation Update. He asked when the City Manager's office would provide prompt and accurate information to the citizens of Louisville. He noted several years ago the citizens of Louisville voted for the Open Government Initiative. He stated the City's Web Site offers tools to provide information to Louisville's residents to secure citizen participation in municipal affairs, which were not possible before the Internet. He felt the City has gone backwards in terms of open government and noted the minutes of the City Council meetings are no longer available within one to two days after the meeting. Also several years (1999-2005) of City Council minutes were removed from the City's Web site when it was updated in 2009. He stated the City Manager's office uses PDF's instead of html hyper-text, which provides links to other documents. He stated when a company was sought to help upgrade the City's web page, it was a consent agenda item, thereby not allowing any public participation.
