City Council Minutes May 7, 2018 Page 4 Councilmember Westgaard questioned Councilmember Wagner as to how she plans to assemble the data gathered from the listening sessions and compiling it into an executive summary for the public. Councilmember Wagner stated she has thought about it, but hasn't come to a final decision. She questioned Council as to how they liked the format of the first session and whether there should be any changes. Mayor Dietz stated he is fine with the format but questioned if specific names should be collected with specific comments. Councilmember Wagner stated she is fine with either option but expressed concerns with people not wanting to share their opinion if they are required to give their name. Councilmember Westgaard stated he didn't feel the names were critical as much as the content. Councilmember Olsen felt the meeting was well run and attended. Councilmember Ovall reviewed the listening session questions and stated he thought they were bias, noting the purpose of the meetings is to listen to citizens. He felt they weren't directive enough and suggested steering them to the core issues about the decisions Council needs to make. Councilmember Westgaard suggested secondary questions, noting it is critical to give the community the chance to speak. 9.1 Council Liaison Updates Council provided updates on the activities of the various boards and commissions.
