Regular City Council Meeting Monday,February 27, 2012 Page 20 Mayor Roe advised that he would work with City Manager Malinen on the meet- ing format; allowing for some flexibility in scheduling that work session, depend- ing on action items and how best to implement it short-term. • The following items were either determined to be in process and/or part of the de- partment/administrative work plan, and therefore struck from the Council Strate- gic Plan: Lines 497, 499, 600, and 501. • Line 502 Councilmember Johnson expressed his concern in providing parity, rather than always playing catch up City Manager Malinen suggested this be pursued as a long-term goal to achieve that parity, noting obvious resources issues. At 10:01 p.m. Johnson moved, Willmus seconded to extend the meeting an additional ten (10) minutes to finalize this discussion. Roll Call Ayes: Johnson; Pust; McGehee; Willmus; and Roe. Nays: None. • Line 504 It was determined that this item was a short-term staff work plan item. Related to a local option sales tax, Councilmember McGehee opined that this was not a straightforward issue with her, given the 30% rental rate in the City and the number of seniors; and her concern that they would be charged more to shop in their own communities. Councilmember McGehee advised that there remained differing opinions on the City Council. Mayor Roe advised that any discussion on whether there would be a future refer- endum would be public discussion and participation to the extent the City could obtain the information. Back to existing work plan items (Page 18): • Lines items 432, 435 and 440 were determined to be redundant, succession plan- ning,pr department strategic planning, and were struck from the list. • Line item 432 was ongoing and remained as an ongoing process to ensure quality service. • Line items 443, 446, 450, 452, 454, 456,457, 459, 466, and 492 were determined to be incorporated with the budget process; and were struck from the list.
