I would propose to start this new schedule when we move back into the remodeled City Hall. The <br />worksession meetings would be held in the conference room and would not be on cable TV. The <br />worksessions would be official City Council meetings and open to the public. If Council action was <br />taken at a worksession, then this action could be summarized at the following Council meeting when <br />we are on cable TV so that the audience at home could keep up on the official city business that has <br />taken place. Also, I would like to set a time limit of two to two and one-half hours for these <br />worksessions. <br /> <br />One of the challenges with a revised meeting schedule is that the city will need to get the vast <br />majority of its regular business completed in two meetings so that the third meeting can truly be set <br />aside for worksession topics. All too often I have heard from other City Administrators where this <br />worksession evening gets eroded away and becomes nothing more than another regular City Council <br />agenda night. It is preferred that the City Council establish the worksession agenda topics but there <br />is no shortage of ideas for topics and issues that staff would like to get before the City Council for <br />discussion and direction. Also, the worksession evening will likely be the night for joint meetings <br />with City Boards and Commissions. <br /> <br />I would like to receive Council feedback and direction on a proposed meeting schedule change and <br />the designation for one evening a month being set aside for worksession discussions. <br /> <br />S:\Council\Pat~2003~ccschedulechange.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
