Regular City Council Meeting Monday, September 14, 2015 Page 28 Roll Call Ayes: Willmus, Laliberte, Etten, McGehee and Roe. Nays: None. 16. City Manager Future Agenda Review City Manager Tnidgeon advised that he would not be available for the August 28, 2015 City Council meeting; and noted that most of the items on the agenda at this time re- volved around Community Development Department items. At the request of Mayor Roe, Councilmember Etten advised that he was still unable to confirm if he would be available for the September 21, 2015 for discussion of the priority policy planning document as previously scheduled. Discussion ensued regarding the option of starting the meeting earlier to accominodate schedules; and after further consideration and scheduling issues, Councilmember Laliber- te suggested that given that the document to be discussed included many econoinic de- velopment and housing priorities, it inay be prudent to push that discussion off until an- swers on the model going forward beyond the RHRA was known, with a goal of estab- lishing a 2016 strategic plan. While Mayor Roe was supportive of pushing the docuinent out, he also noted that part of the initial discussion needed to determine if everyone was on the same page and had the same understanding moving forward with the priority policy planning document. Without objection, Mayor Roe directed staff to retain the 6:00 p.in. start tune for the Sep- tember 21, 2015 meeting, and agenda items as noted to-date, retaining the planning doc- ument discussion at the end of that agenda for potential initial discussions whether or not Councilmember Etten's schedule allowed him to attend. At the request of City Manager Trudgeon, the City Council agreed that the previous RCA prepared by him would suffice for this initial discussion. 17. Councilmember-Initiated Items for Future Meetings As she had previously brought to the attention of City Manager Trudgeon, Councilmem- ber McGehee stated her desire to provide the public with the results from the budget pro- cess postcards submitted, and incorporating that information in the next or a subsequent City News newsletter recognizing the good response and providing a follow-up for resi- dents. Mayor Roe questioned the intent or focus of the follow-up, and whether it included staff's grouping of citizen responses or tallying information.
