The intent of this retreat is to evaluate the City's vision, goals, and mission for <br />the up-coming year. <br /> <br />City staff is seeking the guidance of the City Council in determining whether or not therc is an <br />interest in scheduling a retreat for the beginning of next year. Also, would the City Council like <br />to have the same facilitator or should a new organizational consultant be brought in for the <br />retreat? <br /> <br />Members of the City Council felt that a new facilitator should be brought in to evaluate and <br />review the City's vision, mission, and goals for 2005. <br /> <br />Mayor Aplikowski felt that the facilitator should focus on Arden Hill's future goals as a <br />community. <br /> <br />City staff will he gin the research process of finding a new retreat facilitator. It was also <br />suggested that the upstairs area at City Hall not be used for the retreat. Last year the upstairs <br />area was very cold and uncomfortable. The downstairs meeting area at City Hall would be more <br />desirable for hosting this event. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />\\Earth\Admin\Council\Minutes\Worksession\2004\1 0-] 8-04,doc <br />
