It <br /> ,-AEN HILLS <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: December 14, 2005 AGENDA ITEM 3.G <br /> TO: Mayor and City Council <br /> FROM: Michelle Wolfe, City Administrator <br /> SUBJECT: Various Updates: <br /> 1. City Council/City Staff Retreat <br /> 2. City Council Vacancy <br /> 3. New Engineer/City Engineer Status <br /> CITY COUNCIL/STAFF RETREAT <br /> The past two years we have held a Council/staff retreat in January. It is time to talk about the <br /> 2006 retreat. Staff needs directions regarding the following: <br /> 1. Timing of the Retreat— With the expected appointment of a new Council member in <br /> later January, we may want to hold off the retreat until February. If everyone can <br /> bring calendars, we can set a date or dates. (In the past we've met on a Friday <br /> afternoon and Saturday morning.) <br /> 2. Selection of Facilitator — The City has had somewhat of a trend to have the same <br /> facilitator for two years in a row and then change. Last year we had Jim Prosser from <br /> Ehlers. Jim is now working out of the Illinois office, but I believe would still be <br /> available. Otherwise, we can proceed with a process similar to last year, where we <br /> got quotes from a few possible facilitators and then provided that information to <br /> Council. <br /> 3. Topics for the Retreat — I would expect the facilitator to work with all of us on the <br /> development of goals for the retreat. However, if there are any key points or requests <br /> Council would like to make known at this time, it would be good to know. <br /> CITY COUNCIL VACANCY <br /> We will provide a verbal update as to the number of applications we've received. If we haven't <br /> accomplished setting an interview date by Monday, we can select the date or dates on Monday <br /> evening. <br />
