Discussions are focusing on reasonable regulations that <br />would not only address Council Members, but also City Board and Commission <br />Oliver J. Davis Members, while their particular body is in session. <br />Sixth District <br />Al "Buddy" Kirsits Bill No. 75 -10 is also sponsored by Council Member Karen L. White, Council <br />At Large Member Ann Puzzello, and Council Member Timothy A. Rouse. So that the <br />sponsors and all members of the Council have the opportunity for input, I believe <br />Timothy A. Rouse that the added time will assist in developing sound and reasonable policies which <br />At Large address existing and emerging electronic communication devices. Such regulations <br />will carefully balance a member's right to have access to such devices, with the <br />Karen L. White members of the public rights under the Indiana Open Door Law and Indiana's <br />At Large Access to Public Records law. <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br />Most since - vj,&e. ly, �k& <br />Derek D.
