CITY OF ELK RIVER <br />SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL ALTERNATIVES <br />Considering the budgetary constraints of the City of Elk River, Lee Colby and I <br />have condensed the comprehensive proposal into what we feel would be a <br />"start" at addressing some of the issues brought out in the Needs Assessment. <br />There would be certain topics that would not be addressed or at least very little. <br />The following is our proposal at the onset (prioritized): <br />I. DISC workshops where all City personnel would attend two half day <br />sessions,. This would be scheduled three times. This training would help <br />staff understand different behavior styles, diffuse conflict, and open lines of <br />communication with external and internal customers. <br />11. Facilitated Planning sessions comprised of a cross sectional group <br />scheduled for 2 1/2 hours five times. These are important because specific <br />issues from the Needs Assessment would begin to be addressed and dealt <br />with as a group (same as original proposal only less time <br />allotted). (total 12.5 hrs) <br />• Ill. Task Forces made up of volunteers and appointees would be established to <br />work on work flow, procedures, and matetial evaluations (same as in <br />original proposal only less time allotted). Would schedule three task forces <br />to meet twice each for 1 1/2 hours. (total 9 hrs) <br />IV. Short-Term Strategies would be utilized for one- on-one coaching, observing <br />staff meetings, and miscellaneous meetings as needed. (total 6 hrs) <br />V. Customer Service sessions for all City staff. Scheduled in three half -day <br />sessions. <br />The following was omitted from the original proposal: <br />1. Decreased the time allotted for Facilitated Planning Sessions, Task Forces, <br />and Short-Term Team Building Strategies. <br />2. Employee Training: a. Communication Skills for Mgmt <br />b. Teamwork Skills <br />C. Effective Meeting Management <br />
