Memo Agenda Topics Council RetreatTo: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Steven C. Mielke, City Manager
Date: January 5, 1996
Subject: Agenda Topics for the Council /Staff Retreat
The Council /Staff Retreat has been set for January 26 and 27. A location has yet to be
determined and I am in the process of reviewing and selecting a facilitator.
I would appreciate receiving input from the City Council regarding the agenda and topics to be
discussed at the retreat. It seems obvious that the primary purpose of the retreat will be to
determine the next one to three year's goals for the City. I have a preference for using a
strategic planning approach to goal setting, but I would be open to the Council's views on this
approach. Additionally, 1 have heard from Council members who have other topics that they
wish to discuss as well and 1 am hopeful that they can be identified as soon as possible.
•
I would ask that Council members think about what they would like to achieve, and if possible,
bring a list of proposed topics to the Work Session.
In the past we have tended to have more topics to discuss than time is available; therefore,
some consensus on topics would be helpful. I look forward to discussing this issue with you.
