Councilmember Etten opined that this, in part, also involved the <br />need for maintaining respectful dialogue rather than people using their positions <br />to make personal points, whether to each other, staff or commission members. <br />Councilmember Etten opined that this was the part for him that came off poorly as <br />a result of such dialogue that put people in poor positions. <br />Councilmember McGehee noted the positive steps staff has been taking with <br />those complex issues in breaking them into more manageable chunks versus the <br />City Council attempting to address the broader picture involving too many mov- <br />ing parts; opining that was a big improvement. <br />With a municipal election held every two years that may influence how a position <br />ar issue is approached, Mayor Roe noted some tbings are entirely out of staff or <br />the public's control, a reality that needed to be acknowledged as part of this dis- <br />cussion. However, Mayor Roe agreed that it was up to each Councilmember and <br />the corporate body to manage things to get the business of the city accomplished. <br />Mayor Roe reiterated the comments of City Manager Trudgeon that this was the <br />first look at this draft summary, and would include public feedback prior to ap- <br />proval. <br />Civic Engagement <br />Staff assigned: Police Chief Rick Mathwig, Assistant Parks Director Jill An- <br />fang, City Planner Thomas Paschke <br />Chief Mathwig provided an overview of the proposed strategic initiatives. <br />Specific to the initiative to "establish community-oriented outreach program," <br />City Manager Trudgeon identified an awareness of three new segments of the <br />community, with others were yet to be determined. Mr. Trudgeon noted that fur- <br />ther work would involve plugging this initiative with the Community Engagement <br />Commission's (CEC) Neighborhood Group Task Force and Renter's Notification <br />Task Force. Since this was still a work-in-progress, Mr. Trudgeon advised that <br />this was only a portion of segments needing focus and identifying other groups <br />
