[edit] New open records policy still unwritten

"From February through May, the city lowered the cost of obtaining public records; made City Council agenda packets available to the public prior to council meetings; and put the city’s Code of Ordinances online.

However, five months after the overall public records policy was changed verbally by Mayor Tim Kant in early February, that new policy has not been put in any formal writing, such as an ordinance or resolution."
