In addition to serving as a way <br />to review the information gathered at the neighborhood meetings, a retreat could serve several <br />other purposes: <br /> <br />· Providing me, new in the position, with some goals and direction where you <br />would like me to focus. <br />· Discuss general vision and priorities for the City. <br />. Review progress on the work plan developed following the March 2003 retreat. <br />. Prepare a 2004 work plan. <br />· Discuss Council-Staff relations and Council relations <br /> <br />It is my understanding that the facilitator used in March 2003, Marilyn Condon, was well- <br />received. If that is true, she would be able to bring her knowledge and experience from the last <br />retreat which could enhance the effectiveness of this retreat. If Council is not comfortable with <br />that option, then staff can provide other facilitator options. Staff has contacted Marilyn Condon <br />for a general inquiry, and her calendar is clear for the first three weeks in November. <br /> <br />At this time staff is requesting Council determine whether or to proceed with a retreat, and if so: <br />1. Possible dates <br />2. Facilitator choice <br />3. Topics for discussion (if different than contained herein) <br />4. Format of retreat: two-day, one-day, one evening, Council only, Council + <br />management team, etc. <br />
