Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday, December 4, 2017 <br /> Page 28 <br /> reported that new leadership had been elected. As part of that new leadership, Coun- <br /> cilmember Laliberte reported that the new president-elect of the RCLLG questioned why <br /> attendance was frequently at a bare minimum by the Board when the preference was that <br /> all council members interested also attend, causing leadership to question why that was <br /> not occurring. Councilmember Laliberte advised that she therefore brought those mixed <br /> perceptions from the RCLLG to the attention of her colleagues to solicit their feedback, <br /> asking if she needed to do a better job promotion speakers and/or events to garner that in- <br /> terest or if they felt they were receiving adequate notice. Councilmember Laliberte re- <br /> ported that she had challenged the Board to have more relevant events/speakers to in- <br /> crease attendance at RCLLG-hosted events, and while it was a good discussion, sugges- <br /> tions were made to survey why these meetings were no better attended. <br /> Councilmember Willmus opined that this was interesting feedback from the RCLLG, and <br /> suggested they be cognizant that people have lots of things happening in their individual <br /> lives. However, if they want to derive greater attendance, Councilmember Willmus sug- <br /> gested they attempt more direct outreach and provide a better flow of discussion items, a <br /> timelier schedule of speakers, as well as better marketing on their part. <br /> 11. Councilmember Initiated Future Agenda Items and Future Agenda Review <br /> Councilmember Laliberte asked that one new thing for the 2018 radar be continued dis- <br /> cussion and consideration on how to make city financial information more easily digesti- <br /> ble and transparent. Councilmember Laliberte suggested that the city's Communications <br /> Manager, HRIEC and Finance Commission continue to provide input on best practices <br /> and visuals, as well as examples from other agencies that could further enhance those ef- <br /> forts. <br /> 12.
