Below is the link to the webcast of our July regular city council meeting. 

July 9th City Council Meeting Webcast

Since not everyone may have the time to watch the entire meeting, fortunately on the webcast page there are index points that allow you to skip to certain portions of the meeting. Here are four highlighted portions that may be valuable to citizens to see what a typical meeting is like.

Public Input beginning 1:05 minutes into the meeting.

This is a time for any citizen to speak to the council about issues they want to air. Five citizens address the council.

City Engineer responds to questions and complaints beginning at 13:47 minutes. 

Some background: At 17:00 minutes audience members start shouting out questions, which Josiah politely answers. You can't hear the questions since the audience members don't come to a microphone. At 20:00 minutes an audience member asks Josiah "Is the contractor also working on projects at the University right now?" Josiah answers. "I don't know." The audience member shoots back, "I think you do!" Josiah can't do much more than shrug and rightly just moves along with his report. 

Summary and Discussion of June 25th Work Session beginning at 1 hour 59:44 minutes.

This is where council members talked about the work session and out thoughts on how to proceed with issues related to the St. Andrew Church site. 

Jeff Maxwell is invited to speak beginning at 2 hours 18:05 minutes

Developer Jeff Maxwell speaks about what he'd like to know from council, and his thoughts.

So that was our meeting this week. What do you think? I'd certainly like to hear your opinions. Feel free to use the comment box below.

For something a little more light hearted, Last week I got the link below which is also from cable channel 4:

Community Highlights: Bike/Bus/Car Race 2013

Elected officials participate in the annual Bike/Bus/Car Race from the Coralville Public Library to the Iowa City Public Library, which was part of the 2013 Bike to Work Week activities. This program follows race participants Terrence Neuzil, Jim Throgmorton, and Mike Haverkamp as they make their way across town on their separate modes of transportation.
