Eric Bartkus Lowell City Council

This topic is minor compared to the major tasks assigned to city council, but the overhead display information for the citizens at meetings could sometimes be better. I have attended most of the council and DDA meetings since moving to the city in 2019. Once in a while however the information on the display is hard to read or the details are only in the printed packet for the council.

I would like all the meeting info to be clearly presented to attendees. Business world meetings always have a “slide deck” so that all can follow along. Many citizens are coming from work and taking their personal time to be involved in the city. I don’t want them to have to go to the city website and print the packet to be informed. Most of the time the information presented is top notch, but I promise to check this prior to each meeting.

Examples of items that need good visuals:

*pictures of potential new developments, buildings, changes, etc. (not just words)

*charts and tables of data that are large enough to be readable

*summaries of proposals, financials, etc. that are easy to understand

Thanks for reading! Comments are always appreciated.
