Mayor Strommen suggested the Council address how it handles public input during a Regular <br />Session. She stated one option is to ask the public to fill out and submit a comment card so the <br />Council is aware that someone in the audience desires to make a comment on an agenda item. <br />Councilmember LeTourneau stated it seems appropriate that during each Case, a statement is <br />made so the audience is aware when it is appropriate to make a comment. <br />Councilmember LeTourneau commented on the loss of the Shell Gas Station and stated it is <br />disturbing when a retail node is diminished to one business. He asked if that conversation should <br />occur at the City Council or EDA level. <br />Mayor Strommen suggested that discussion start at the City Council level and then determined <br />whether it should be referred to the EDA for discussion and recommendation. She felt the <br />medians may have been an impact but there may have been other factors that the Council could <br />discuss. <br />4.
