The <br />discussions have been helpful in establishing annual budgets, long-term budget planning and improving <br />communication between elected and appointed officials. <br />The council should select available date(s) and time(s) for the 2020 retreat to ensure full participation. It <br />would also be a good time to identify topics they would like to discuss or information they would like to <br />have available in presentation or documentation form. <br />Past retreats have been facilitated by the city administrator. There may be value in bringing in an outside <br />facilitator to help plan and drive discussion. <br />Financial Impact <br />N/A <br />Attachments <br />■ April Calendar <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional,` 01 e <br />service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires pi ospei l_ y INAMIRE1 <br />
