Regular City Council Meeting Monday, October 19, 2015 Page 18 Council needed to rely on its professional staff at the front end followed by that advisory coinmission input. Councilmember McGehee clarified that she was not suggesting anything beyond staff's ability to offload more mundane assignments directly versus coming to the City Council for a formal charge of those tasks and seeking assistance more in- fonnally. Councilmember McGehee stated that she would support that process. Mayor Roe suggested it may be more appropriate, if and when applicable, that such a process work through the Volunteer Coordinator, which Councilmember McGehee agreed was a good idea. City Manager Tnidgeon clarified that he was hearing the City Council direct staff to prepare a schedule of milestones for the City Council to review and potentially adopt in the future. Mr. Trudgeon advised that staff would start digging into the details and make sure advisory commissions were aware of their potential in- volveinent in the future moving forward. Regarding structure, Mayor Roe sought clarification froin Councilmember Laliberte on her concept for the product coming back to the City Council from staff. Based on his understanding, Mayor Roe suggested a written description of areas and basic general starting outlines, but not necessarily inchiding all the de- tails or timelines, for initial City Council approval and to be revised later as the process continued to evolve, but allowing something to be in place as a starting frameworlc prior to 2016; and again without too much detail involved at that point. Councilmember Laliberte agreed with Mayor Roe's understanding, and suggested another good thing to have would be to adopt standards for each target, or provide smaller targets under the initial target for adoption, and defining what that ineant (e.g. various asset categories) to make it clear for future City Councils and benefit the community going forward and infonn the work of those fuhire City Councils in an easy-to-understand format for periodic updating. Mayor Roe suggested identifying asset categories with the ability to measure the level of condition for each category as a strategic initiative. City Manager Trudgeon advised that, unless the City Council was wedded to this current format (Attachment A), staff could refonnat it coinpletely to lay it out in a more reader- and user-friendly document. Mayor Roe agreed with that reformatting, suggesting also including areas to iden- tify staff, City Council and/or advisory coinmission responsibilities, as well as public input opportunities.
