Regular City Council Meeting Monday,January 8,2018 Page 18 Mayor Roe noted he thought the Council had provided fairly clear direction, but he rec- ognized the Commission did not seem to think it was as clear as the Council thought it was. He suggested a short bullet-point summary to summarize the direction of the Coun- cil. He agreed things do get lost in the translation of minutes, so perhaps a summary is most helpful. Councilmember Etten agreed that the Commission seemed frustrated or unsure about the direction of the Council, so perhaps this is a better way to come at the same information. He wants to be sure the Council is all in agreement about it. The Commission wants to take action and do positive things in the community, and the communication limbo has created no action. He appreciates their desire to get the ball rolling. Mayor Roe suggested the Commission should update its workplan, to give the Council something to respond to in February. Assistant City Manager Olson stated the workplan will not be prepared in February, though the Commission will be bringing forward some other items. Mayor Roe suggested the sticking points can be addressed in the February discussion, to help with the workplan. City Manager Trudgeon confirmed staff will summarize the meeting minutes and redirect the Commission to the Council's prior direction, and any sticking points can be cleared up at the February meeting. Councilmember McGehee stated she would like the Council to make a public presenta- tion as to the overall plan for proposing to make the purchase of the property on the 29th, not just in closed session., In response, Mayor Roe noted there are two open agenda items concerning the purchase. Councilmember McGehee stated it is a reasonable expectation for the residents and those on the Council who have not yet heard how this fits into the overall City plan. Mayor Roe noted any action that would be taken about the property will be in an open session. The closed session will be about any specifics of a proposed offer. 12.
