CityCouncil | 2019-12-18 | 15 | City Council Workshop Workshop Report Management Partners Suggest changing the worksheet columns for future use to: Are we doing this adequately? Better? Better than before? The order of comments at a Council meeting can affect the discussion. It is important to allow time for response. Appreciation for the Mayor's approach of "going down the line" was expressed. It is harder to manage a discussion where one or more individuals are passionate about the topic. Some people are not given an equal amount of time to speak and be heard. Areas where the City Manager could do better - discussion highlights: Come to Council early on things - no surprises. It is helpful to get information early on regarding what staff is working on (i.e., projects); doesn't need to be "fully baked." Without early input, staff may misunderstand or have unclear direction regarding Council expectations. Tell the Council what resources are needed to do what the Council desires. Be empowered to provide full candor while providing supporting documents for clarity. Follow through on Council priorities. Be transparent with the Council regarding the status of priorities and what can be accomplished. There was acknowledgement that staff wants to please. Wrap-Up and Next Steps The workshop concluded with Nancy sharing that a workshop summary report will be prepared by Management Partners to document the outcomes of the day.
