�.� EN HILLS <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: April 19, 2010 Item LC <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members <br /> FROM: Sue Iverson, Acting City Administrator <br /> Finance Director/Treasurer <br /> SUBJECT: Council Comments and Requests Discussion <br /> Backiround <br /> At a previous meeting, it was requested by Council to have a discussion on the placement <br /> of Council Comments and Requests on the City Council Agenda. In conjunction with <br /> that, I have included the Civil Discourse procedures that were agreed upon by City <br /> Council at the 2006 Council Retreat. <br /> Discussion <br /> Staff is looking for direction from Council on where this item should be placed on the <br /> agenda. Staff would also like to discuss with Council what they would like to see in the <br /> Administrator's Update in the future. Increasingly, staff is getting additional requests for <br /> information from individual Council members, which is increasing the workload of the <br /> staff. While staff realizes that this information and requests are important, staff is unsure <br /> just what information to provide because each Council member has different <br /> expectations. Additionally, these individual requests can result in minutes to hours of <br /> time to research and answer. At times, these requests have turned into actual projects. <br /> Staff would like to discuss the expectations so that staff and the Council have the same <br /> expectations. <br /> City Council Meeting <br /> \\Metro-inet\ardenhills\Admin\Council\Agendas&Packet Information\20 1 0\4-19-1 0 Worksession\Packet <br /> Information\1-C Council Comments and Requests.doc <br /> Page 1 of 1 <br />
