Point G 1-7 states the reasons Norwood, Ohio City Council Members are allowed to call for executive sessions. My wish is for the council President to explains reasons for doing so.
The viewing audience does not have the privilege of having a agenda in hand.
There are people viewing the meeting who were just like I once was frustrated that they would have the nerve to go behind close doors and lock out the public from hearing what was being discussed. I also hope we can get to the point where we have less executive sessions. Norwood has been called backward, dishonest, and corrupt . Transparency is one way the City can start to overcome its horrible reputation. The Mayor Tom Williams want more good news stories on the City of Norwood, I agree. In order for the good news stories to come front and center, things in the City have to change. You can't run a City like it was ran 40 years ago and wonder why no good news stories make the news. Times have changed and so have people. Technology has allowed people to be involved in matters that they would have never been involved in from the comfort of their recliners. Executive sessions make them feel cheated. If I can push a button and see every mistake a person has made via the court records, then I should be able to hear and see what my elected officials are doing and saying. We have become a nation of we want to know weather it's our business or not. Limit executive sessions so the City of Norwood can restore some trust.
