He said another major benefit he sees with this is that we can arrange to have this put on the City's website and made available to all the citizens in Sunny Isles Beach that can access our website from their computer. He said they can get the same detailed information prior to the meeting as the Commission does, and they can be better informed and may have more questions and comments having the time to study it at their leisure at home. Mayor Edelcup said it is not only a benefit for the City Commission but a benefit for all our residents, the newspapers, and the public at large that can access our website, and this will save us countless time and energy in preparation for our meetings. 13.
