City Council Meeting Retreat Tuesday,February 17, 2015 Page 4 Four Core Cultures: Control culture (military—command and control) Competence culture(research lab/u—best and brightest) Collaboration culture(family—teams) Cultivation culture(church-mission/values) As part of the upcoming exercise, Mr. Rapp advised that the questions should consider who the City is and who they wanted to be without constraint as they considered which of the four core cultures were appropriate in each area. At the end of the exercise, Mr. Rapp and participants reviewed survey results and those results specific to the City Council, those of staff, and the combined value for each.
