Business Items—Presentations/Discussions a. Discuss Interim City Manager Goals Councilmember McGehee expressed her personal goals for: completion of the re- cycling contract and website development. Rather than having specific goals and based on his perspective as a Department Head and as Interim City Manager, Councilmember McGehee spoke in support of having Mr. Trudgeon provide over the next few months a clear and concise doc- ument specifically outlining his personal observations and subsequent recommen- dations to improve efficiencies or processes of the organization overall.
