A transparent city council?

The Duluth City Council says they that they are want to be transparent and willing to listen to the people that elected you.  You encourage people to come and take part in the process.  Yet when a major a facing our city like finding money to improver our streets come up.  You do a 180.

The council held a agenda session today, where they talked about the street issue at the end of the meeting.  They talked in very vague terms.  Not letting an idea what they are discussing on the issue.  We have no idea what is being written as ordinances and resolutions.

We only learned today that there will in fact be ordinances and resolutions about this issue.  No thought by the council of saying what they ideas are the council are thinking about.  How is this transparent? Even in email the councilors don't give any idea of what is going on with the issue.  Don't you think the ideas should be shared with the public before they are written so we all know what is going on?
