El OTHER: Lack of a meeting invitation on the City iPad, so was unaware of the meeting' Although it was
apparently dicsussed at the Feb 17th meeting I attended, I had no Agenda and had trouble following the meeting.
If your absence is determined to be unexcused (not clearly meeting Criteria 1-7), would you like the City
Secretary to submit a request fo the City Council fo excuse your absence? a Yes a No
