MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Dave Osberg, City Administrator
DATE: May 17, 2007
SUBJECT: Reschedule June 18, 2007 City Council Meeting and Schedule Special
Workshop Session
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council take action changing the 2°d meeting in June
from the regular date of Monday June 18, 2007 to Tuesday June 19`", 2007; and to
schedule a special workshop session at 5:30 PM that same night to discuss, among other
topics the 2005 Council-Staff goals report.
BACKGROUND
Changing City Council Meeting Date: For a number of years a cross section of City
Councilmembers, Staff and others have participated as a foursome during the annual
Chamber of Commerce golf tournament. As a result of our participation, the Chamber of
Commerce staff and others have commented on how much they appreciate the
representatives from the City participating in the golf event, dinner and awards. This
year, the annual golf event, dinner and awards are scheduled for Tuesday June 18`", 2007
at the Hastings Country Club. Thus, the request to move the City Council meeting from
Monday June 18`", 2007 to Tuesday June 19`", 2007. Tentative representatives, (using the
term "represent" very loosely), include Mayor Hicks, City Councilmember Elling
Schultz, Assistant City Administrator Melanie Mesko Lee and City Administrator Dave
Osberg.
Special City Council Workshop: The City Council may recall that Apri130, 2007 was
once set as a special City Council meeting date for discussion of the Council-Staff goals
established in November, 2005. For a variety of reasons, the date became a problem, and
thus no special City Council meeting was conducted, and as of yet, the meeting has not
been rescheduled. Rather than attempt to schedule another night away for the members of
the City Council and City Staff, Mayor Hicks and I are suggesting the City Council
consider gathering prior to the meeting contemplated for Tuesday June 19`", 2007 and
meet at 5:30 PM. Staff would make arrangements for something to eat, and the earlier
workshop session would of course need to be completed by 7:00 PM, in time for the
regular~[y Council meeting,
