TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Dave Osberg, City Administrator
DATE: January 29, 2009
SUBJECT: Schedule Special City Council Meeting
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council take action authorizing the scheduling of a special City
Council meeting on Monday March 30, 2009 at 5:00 PM, to be conducted in the Volunteer
Room at the Hastings City Hall.
BACKGROUND
Mayor Hicks and I recently discussed the value of a scheduling a special City Council meeting
on the 5~` Monday of March (30~') for purposes of discussing a few topics of current interest and
to also provide an opportunity to conduct some team building discussions to enhance further the
excellent camaraderie with the City Council and the City Staff. The format for the evening
would likely include gathering at 5:00 PM for a box "lunch", and then begin the more structured
portion of the meeting at 5:30 PM with a team building exercise lead by Mayor Hicks and me,
followed by topics relevant to the time of year, which might include Budget discussions,
Highway #61 Bridge and upcoming summer activities. Mayor Hicks and I will work on the final
agenda and discussion topics, and would distribute prior to the meeting.
Some may recall a similar special City Council meeting last year at the same time of year which
resulted in a box lunch and discussion of the Hastings Economic Development and
Redevelopment Authority at the LeDuc Mansion. I would anticipate the agenda and discussion
for the evening would result in adjournment no later than 7:30 PM.
The City Co is asked to take action scheduling a special meeting on Monday March 30~',
2009 at 5:96 J3~l~in the Volunt~ Room at the Hastings City Hall.
