Regular City Council Meeting Monday,August 19,2013 Page 27 Mayor Roe suggested that requesting as an assignment a series of recommenda- tions from the City Manager serve a GOAL for the Interim City Manager. Councilmember Laliberte advised that she would like to see that sooner versus later, and appropriately prioritized. Mayor Roe suggested if that was the desire of the majority that it be a work as- signment for Mr. Trudgeon with an assigned timeframe. Specific to land use RCA's, Councilmember Willmus requested that each RCA develop options to provide guidance for both support or denial of a proposal, similar to that done in the past. Councilmembers McGehee, Laliberte and Etten concurred that this was desirable and provided for a very specific GOAL. Specific to the recycling contract, Mayor Roe advised that it was scheduled for action on an upcoming agenda already. Specific to the website, Mayor Roe noted that this fell into the communications reorganization, and that the City Council's approval or denial of that budget rec- ommendation would cause that to happen or not as part of that action and subse- quent timeframe for redevelopment of the website. Councilmember Laliberte suggested that the administrative reorganization would need to occur first. Mayor Roe stated that he wanted to get specific about the reorganization and a re- alistic timeframe for it to occur; and asked that Mr. Trudgeon report back on when it could occur. Councilmember Laliberte suggested that, as Mr. Trudgeon brought forward his personal recommendations, he include times for implementation of each of those items. In addition to the communications/administrative reorganization, Councilmember Laliberte expressed her interest in a goal of centralization of other functions such as purchasing as an example. Councilmember Laliberte noted that it kept coming up for discussion, but questioned if a process and plan could be put in place to move forward. Regarding Asset Management Software, Councilmember Laliberte noted that the Public Works Department seemed to be the only department with it fully imple- mented; and opined that there needed to be a clear timeframe in place to have that implemented city-wide.
