Attachment A <br />Regular City Council Meeting <br />Monday, March 20, 2023 <br />Page 11 <br />things to send to the City Council. She indicated to her, there is an element of <br />how they fit in relation to what the Council does. She wondered if <br />Councilmember Etten saw that as well. <br /> <br />Councilmember Etten thought that was something that could be brought for- <br />ward, and the Council has had discussions about those things over the last five <br />to seven years. The Council has actually moved timing on some planning <br />things and process already. For him, the door would be pretty wide open to <br />say what are the CommissionÓs thoughts and why, and then the Council would <br />be filtering that back to whatever the Council felt was serving the community <br />in the best way and serving what the Council needs. <br /> <br />Councilmember Strahan wondered if they could also add how Youth <br />Commissioners fit, given the given that the City does not have any Youth <br />Commissioners at the moment. <br /> <br />Councilmember Etten agreed. <br /> <br />Mayor Roe asked if Councilmember Etten had an idea of time frame that he <br />would want this on a Council agenda coming up. <br /> <br />Councilmember Etten thought in the next month or so would be fine and then <br />from there start to move things forward. <br /> <br />Without objection, Mayor Roe indicted this topic would be put on a council <br />agenda in the time frame requested by Council member Etten. <br /> <br /> <br />b.

She is wondering <br />what other communication tools can the City utilize. In her mind, it came <br />back to the IAP2. She noted that the City of St. Anthony Village has ÐCoffee <br />with CouncilÑ once a month in which there is a two-hour open window with <br />which people can have office hours. She thought this might be an opportunity <br />where the City Council can go to people. Repeatedly, she has heard from <br />people about having holding a town hall or City meeting of some kind. The <br />other thing is the possibility of having the meetings out in the community, the <br />reason being that if they are really into IAP2, which the City spent so much <br />time deciding if they were involved, collaborate, or empower, how does the <br /> <br />
