Regular City Council Meeting Monday,February 27, 2012 Page 19 It was noted that this was already included in the existing work plan (5th bullet point) and participating in shared services was articulated in three (3) separate ar- eas; with suggestions to merge the language as applicable. • Line 482—Fee based services to residents Councilmember McGehee advised that this was intended to determine other ser- vices that the City could offer to its residents on a fee basis, similar to other com- munity offerings. City Manager Malinen noted that this was already listed under shared resources; with Mr. Brokke advising that the Parks and Recreation Department and Commu- nity Education staff were continually looking for shared opportunities. Mayor Roe noted that any discussions on whether they were fee-based or tax- supported would be a part of the City Council's decision-making process; and ad- vised that this item be struck. • Line 483 This item was already included under performance measurements (short-term). • Line 487 Mayor Roe noted that this was an unspoken objective; with Mr. Trudgeon advis- ing that it was broad and could be incorporated with others; therefore struck. • Line 490 This will be part of the next step in the process; therefore it was struck. • Line 495 - Council Work Session Mayor Roe advised that he and Councilmember Willmus had previously dis- cussed this item; and suggested that one meeting per month be dedicated primari- ly for discussion under the current format, but allowing for more focused discus- sion time. Councilmember McGehee expressed her preference to have citizens sit at the ta- ble with their individual topics as done in the past. Mayor Roe advised that initially, the process that would be initiated would be as stated, with one meeting per month focused on discussion; with business items coming under the consent agenda, along with meeting minutes and public com- ment as currently followed. After that brief business portion of the meeting, Mayor Roe advised that discussions would then ensue on specific topics. Councilmember Johnson noted the need for individual Councilmembers to be self-disciplining and respectful of that discussion focus, and to avoid rehashing past issues that will then end up defeating the purpose.
