<br /> Memorandum - 1998 Retreat, Preliminary Plans . <br /> Page Two <br /> February 13, 1998 <br /> Hours <br /> Last year the Retreat was held on Friday afternoon/evening, and Saturday morning. <br /> Attendance/Dress <br /> I would assume the City COLIllCil prefers casual dress as we have used the past few years. <br /> Facilitator <br /> I have been in contact with TeamWorks International to once again act as facilitator for this <br /> year's Retreat. He has indicated that he is interested in participating with us. I have i~cluded his <br /> available dates above. The cost for Mr. Dennis Cheesebrow will be approximately the same as <br /> 1997 ($2,000 for 2 days, $1,500 for I day). <br /> Aeenda - Goals/Discussion/Backrround Issues <br /> Based on recent conversations, there are really two goals that I see pertinent to the Retreat. The <br /> first is discussing City priorities for the remainder of 1998, and making decisions addressing the <br /> need for additional committees or task forces for this year. The second is to begin discussing <br /> goals for 1999 which can then be llsed as a vehicle for the upcoming budget process. <br /> In order for me to begin working with the facilitator, I need some direction as to whether the <br /> Retreat should include any other topics beyond goal setting. . <br /> I,ocation <br /> We have not yet begun contacting various sites at which to hold the Retreat. Staff would like to <br /> have the dates a little more defined before pursuing this item. I have a list of2-3 local and 2-3 <br /> metro area sites which the Council may wish to select from. The decision on a one day, two day, <br /> or overnight Retreat will also effect the location decision. <br /> Request <br /> The City Council is asked to provide staff with direction as to the items identified above for the <br /> 1998 Retreat. <br /> BF/sls <br /> . <br />
