TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Dave Osberg, City Administrator
DATE: January 17, 2008
SUBJECT: Schedule Special City Council Workshop for March 31, 2008
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council take action scheduling a special City Council
workshop for Monday March 31, 2008 starting at 5:30 PM, at a location yet to be
determined.
BACKGROUND
Throughout the last several years, the City Council occasionally schedules a special
workshop on a fifth Monday of the month, to discuss a variety of topics that warrant the
attention of the full City Council and yet there is an advantage discussing first, during a
workshop type setting, different than a regular City Council meeting. In the later part of
2007, Mayor Hicks and I discussed this possibility and agreed that such a workshop
session should be scheduled for the fifth Monday of March: March 31, 2008. Staff would
propose starting the meeting at 5:30 PM, with a light dinnerlbox lunch provided. It would
be anticipated that the agenda items and discussion would result in a meeting that could
last until about 8:30 PM, including the time over dinner. Topics will be coordinated
through Mayor Hicks and I, with the topic of the Economic Development Authority
already identified. The exact location of the meeting has yet to be determined, as I am
looking into the possibility of conducting the meeting at the LeDuc Mansion that
evening. Once that site is finalized, I would certainly advise the City Council, City Staff
and local media.
The immediate action before the City Council is officially scheduling as special City
Council Workshop on Monday March 31, 2008 beginning at 5:30 PM, with the exact
location still user consideration.
