the City Council Chambers in City Hall, 515 Clark Avenue, pursuant to law with Mayor John
Haila presiding. As it was impractical for the Council members to be present in person, the
following Council members were brought in telephonically: Bronwyn Beatty-Hansen, Tim
Gartin, David Martin, and Chris Nelson.

COUNCIL COMMENTS: Mayor Haila referenced an email that he had received from Bruce
Carroll, 3819 Tripp Street, Unit #1. The email was regarding Net Neutrality, which pertains to
certain protections provided to persons accessing sites and services online, and included a
statement that the FCC recently voted to take away Net Neutrality protections. Mr. Carroll asked
that the City join the movement to restore Net Neutrality by signing the Cities Open Internet
Pledge. It was the consensus of the Council members participating in this meeting that Mayor
Haila should reply to the petitioner stating that the City has just begun to explore possible
improvements in Internet options and is considering net neutrality in the context of that project;
however does not have the results and decisions yet to allow the City to sign the Pledge referred
to in the email.
ADJOURNMENT: Moved by Gartin, seconded by Beatty-Hansen, to adjourn the meeting at
2:15 p.m.
Vote on Motion: 4-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
