Minutes of Board of Alderman

[pjmorgan.livejournal.com]

I'm wondering if I'm missing something in the board of alderman minutes on the city website.  They read just like the agenda, except noting if resolutions were approved or not.  But there is almost no news content there.  Do I have to attend these minutes to know more?   I can't get out of work in time to attend these meetings, but I would read anything they would put out there.  The SN and SJ only have so much content, and the other source is word of mouth and community meetings, but it would be a part time job to attend all of these things in order to really know what's going on a large number of local items.
