Two men who addressed the council and one man who commented before the meeting complained that the Marshall City Council minutes do not contain all of their comments made at previous public meetings when the council met in regular session last night.
Council members agreed to amend the minutes to reflect a comment made July 2 by John LaPietra that the Marshall District Library had not received the July 2 city council packet prior to the meeting,
However, members noted that neither the law nor the council rules of procedures requires the city to keep written record of all comments, neither by council members nor the public.
Clerk/Treasurer Finance Director Tracy Hovarter, reading from the rules, reminded the council that the video recording of the meeting serves as the public record of all comments while the minutes need only reflect the actions of the body.
