work and added the City has helpful and responsive employees. She complimented
council for sending postcard out regarding potential council action planned for 84 Avenue
Northeast improvement project.
Resident Wilma Edmonds stated communication is not as important as the city council
believes it is. She said many residents throw out monthly postcard and most likely don’t
read monthly department reports. She said the City does a good job communicating and
most people don’t care until they see something happen then claim they don’t know about
it regardless of communication efforts made in advance.
