Regular City Council Meeting Monday, January 09, 2017 Page 22 Councilmember Etten noted that if simply handed out by City Manager Trudgeon, there should be no need to read things off unless there were specific questions at that tiine. Mayor Roe suggested if a routine was established and feedback provided subse- quent to receiving the fut�ire agenda items listed, both items 10 and 11 could be covered as one. Without Objection, council members agreed to combine items 10 and 11 (At- tachinent A). Further discussion ensued regarding item 7 and the order; with Mayor Roe noting the preference is for the public versus staff to leave early. However, Mayor Roe noted with some flexibility, items could be identified for adjustment on the agen- da early at each meeting for adjustinent to that particular agenda as indicated. Pre-Packet Councihnembers Willmus and McGehee stated they were not interested in the pre-pacicets. While not necessarily wanting to continue the pre-packets, Mayor Roe clarified that it was nice to have soine of that infonnation ahead of time to provide staff with some feedbacic, even though inost of iteins provided in pre-packets to-date were not always the pressing topics of the time. Therefore, Mayor Roe suggested, for those big issues, staff provide infonnation as it becomes available for council inember review. Councilmember Etten agreed that if staff knew of a bigger issue and has infor- ination available that could get the city council more focused on the issues they provide that infonnation to allow more time to look thins over. Without Objection, council members agreed. City Council Meinber Responsibilities City Manager Trudgeon noted his comments in this section were simply provided as food for thought. Councilmember Laliberte clarified that there were times when she asked a ques- tion to include it as part of the conversation, whether for her benefit or because it has been brought to her by a meinber of the public. Mayor Roe clarified that there would always be an opportunity for questions on each topic, but noted that some of the inore inconsequential questions could be asked off line.
