City Council Turns Over E-Mails to Settle Lawsuit
From Staff and Wire Reports
City Council members released a five-month collection of more than 200 internal e-mails as part of a lawsuit settlement to ensure more transparency in city government.

In the settlement, the city promised to create a policy for making such e-mails public in the future.
