Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday, February 12, 2024 <br /> Page 13 <br /> Councilmember Schroeder concurred. <br /> Councilmember Strahan thought it depended on who is creating this and for what <br /> purpose. She did not want to,just for the sake of a few, make more work for staff <br /> or external sources. She noted the ROI included time and effort and is the return <br /> on the investment worth what is being offered. <br /> Councilmember Groff explained he did not want to create more work for staff just <br /> to get some graphs. He thought the Council got a lot of information in their budgets <br /> and improving it somewhat,but also need to look at how the time is being spent. <br /> Mayor Roe indicated there is not a lot of graphical information being presented now <br /> so he did not think staff should go whole hog to add twenty new things, but maybe <br /> there are some things that may make sense. <br /> Mr. Trudgeon explained there is a lot of information presented there and through <br /> conversations, the information means different things to different people. He <br /> thought maybe to focus the conversation, there are several key indicators the <br /> Council wants staff to see such as talking about the monthly charges to the <br /> homeowners and stack charts. He stated staff could do a few of those and can <br /> always build off of that over time. But then staff can focus on them, put them in <br /> the budget documents the Council sees in August to stay informed, as well as <br /> present them to residents in a newsletter and other ways. He thought there were <br /> some good gems that would be helpful to use and it is just a matter of staff <br /> repurposing how the data is displayed once data is collected. <br /> Mayor Roe asked if this is something the Council wants to provide some feedback <br /> to staff on, which may be the ones most helpful to them or should the City get <br /> Finance Commission insight on this. <br /> Mr. Trudgeon indicated he would like to take this back and have some <br /> conversations with staff. <br /> Recess <br /> Mayor Roe recessed the meeting at approximately 8:39 p.m., and reconvened at approximately <br /> 8:46 p.m. <br /> f. Discussion on City Commissions Scope, Duties, and Functions <br /> City Manager Patrick Trudgeon briefly highlighted this item as detailed in the <br /> Request For Council Action and related attachments dated February 12, 2024. <br /> Councilmember Etten reviewed changes to be made to the Commissions including <br /> Code language, cleaning it up, and trying to incorporate most of the ideas of the <br /> Commissions brought to the City Council. <br />
