<br /> ..,. <br /> whether Louisville is a part of it or not. We have the <br /> ideal situation right now where we are a part of the <br /> authority but we are not paying our dues. I think that is <br /> the ideal situation to where we can participate and we <br /> can get all of the information that is available and still <br /> be active and informed but yet if we choose to get out <br /> of it we will not have that opportunity. I will sit here <br /> tonight and support going to the vote of the people with <br /> the three issues. I think we also need to support <br /> information from this City on those three issues. <br />Hornbostel: I also think that it needs to be brought up that if we are <br /> not in the Authority, that we don't pay taxes into the <br /> Authority, and they can't run the road through our land <br /> unless we are a member.

I agree with <br /> you totally, and I'm not saying lobby; just fair <br /> information so that the public is informed. <br />Mayor Fauson reminded Council that a motion was on the floor and called for further <br />discussion. <br />Hornbostel: Susan, when you told us about the open meetings and <br /> participation in issues, did you not say to us that as long <br /> as we didn't do it as a Council that we could participate <br /> in those things individually? So would directing staff to <br /> put out information regarding those issues, would that <br /> be a problem? <br />Griffiths: Going into detail in answering your question, I would <br /> like to do that at the next meeting, if I could, and <br /> 14 <br />
