Mayor ~eitman explained that citizens have c~ses on the <br />Gouncil agenda; they attend the Go~ncil meeting to be present for their case; <br />in Cbuncilmenk~r Oox's efforts to make his point, he does not give bis oonsent <br />to waive the reading of resolutions; Oouncil's time is spent listenin9 to <br />Gouncilmember Gox read resolutions rather than attending to business.
