ITEM NO. 8 <br /> 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 /> II. 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 material 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 /> • <br />
