Item B - February 16, 2011

Discussion and possible action on work session procedures.

 

The Mayor asked Council to delay action on this item until the City Manager has had a chance to present some specific proposals. Additional Council suggestions offered were: a. create an online question and answer process similar to what is used during the budget preparation; b. the work session is intended to allow discussion among Council Members and not necessarily just to question staff; c. if Council wants a particular staff person to respond to an agenda question, they would submit the request in advance and only those staff would be present during the work session; d. revisit the Council schedule for the year to see if there is any efficiency in meeting every other week; e. review options for meeting dates and times to determine what is the most effective and best for Council and staff; and f. set a deadline for Council to submit questions for non-agenda related items in time to be posted on the work session agenda.
