Based on citizen feedback, city staff was asked to consider performance measurements for response time to data practice requests.
Data practice policies are driven by Minnesota Statute. However, staff performance when responding, is not. The comments focused on improving staff response time.
CM Sanschagrin suggested that the timeliness of responses to some data practices request has been a “pain point,” with city residents. Mayor Labadie and CM Callies both quickly responded with altered interpretations of his comments. Callies, as she has done on other occasions, narrowed the numbers of concerned residents down to a point where they did not matter.
The two argued against a need for such response metrics, and declined to do anything beyond the statutory requirements. See the Council discussion here, starting at hr. 1:58.
