How many depts are we talking about Tom? Certainly they should attend meetings which have issues that touch upon their respective departments. More importantly, that's why the background of sensitive issues or proposed ordinances should be posted in advance so citizens can have time to formulate what questions to ask and receive the answers before they are voted on. I am sure many of us belong to organizations with adminstrative boards that vote on most changes. I have never heard of any that do not distribute the proposed changes and get feedback before voting on them. Why as citizens should we be afforded less? While this may slow the process somewhat, it is transparent. If transparency is your aim that's what you do. If it is to push through ordinances, then you give simply give citizens 1 hour's notice to trash through them before voting. Yahoo!
