I appreciate the honesty and frankness of people here on hacking the main frame. I find it is a very useful way of gathering information on what I can do better as a councilor and what we can do better as a council.
I do think about what people say on here and the questions that they ask. Sometimes I don’t know the answers, but questions are good, as well as criticism, after all we can’t get better without it.
In my opinion the more brainpower we have trying to find solutions to the problems we face, the better chance we have of finding a solution. So if you have ideas that you think might help I would be more than happy to listen.
The fact remains however, that while I read this forum fairly regularly, I cannot speak for other members of council. Some may, and others may not. If you want your voices heard beyond this forum I would encourage you to come to council meetings and talk to us about issues.
Remember this is your community, and it’s your city council. If you have questions, concerns, ideas, etc. we want to hear them. Come out to the Committee of the Whole Meetings, bring a delegation to council to talk about a specific issue, email us, phone us. That is part of our job.
I look forward to hearing from you.
