Topics for worksessions with the City Council are not hard to identify Some topics may be brief one-half hour type of discussions while other topms may be one and one-half to two hour discussions and/or require more than one meenng. The intent of the worksession ~s £or the Council, in a more relaxed environment, to discuss the pros and cons of various aspects of an issue without any nme pressures to move on to the next agenda item or pressure to make a decision that evening. Hopefully, toward the end of each worksession topic a consensus can be reached so then when the issue gets before the City Council for a vote, then the discussion can be brief (depending upon the public's interest on the topic). Of course, all worksessions are public meetings and open to the public.
