Honorable Mayor & City Council
Steven C. Mielke, City Manager
Future meetings and agendas
The City Council has had a variety of long and difficult
issues which have required an extraordinary amount of time
for discussion and review /overview.
Because of these special issues, we have fallen behind on
discussions of other topics and it is for this reason that I
am asking that the Council be prepared at the August 20th
meeting to discuss dates which we can use for additional
discussion on miscellaneous topics.
The options for additional dates would include meeting early
at each of* the meetings in September to cover miscellaneous
topics and it may also be necessary to set aside one
additional day during the first three weeks of September for
more in -depth discussion.
Some of the items which I wish to have discussions on
include:
o A preliminary budget discussion /overview
o City Manager's evaluation
o Economic Development - strategic planning
o Review of 91 goals and discussion of 1992 goals
o Review of environmental challenges facing Hopkins
o Solid waste collection policies
Each of these topics take lengthy discussion and require
several hours of additional time from the City Council.
Again, I hope you might bring your calendars to the Counci -1
meeting so that we could set aside additional time for these
topics.
Thank you.
