���� -� <br />�� , � , _ -_- �, �_. � <br />Memo <br />To: Mayor and Council <br />From: N e d Beets, City Manager <br />Date: May 15,2006 <br />Re: Discussion about City Goal of Improving Relationships <br />Date: OS/15/06 <br />Item: 3.d <br />City Council Goa13 <br />Council-Commission, <br />Council-Staff Roles/Relationships <br />Introduction <br />At the Apri122,2006 Goal-setting meeting, the Council and Staff identified nine (9) goals for ihe <br />next year (200612007). The third-ranked goal or priority as stated at the meeting was: <br />St�engthen Council-Commission and Council-Staff Roles and Relationships. <br />Objectives or Action Steps <br />This goal has two prongs that will be addressed separately. <br />A. Strengthening Council-Commission Relationships <br />Council wishes to meet with each of its citizen advisory commissions. I recommend the <br />following schedule: <br />1) Meet with the Planning Commission: June 12 regular Council meeting; <br />2) Meet with the Public Works, Environment, and Transportation Commission: June 19 <br />regular Council meeting <br />3) Meet with the Parks and Recreation Commission: July 10 regular Council meeting. <br />4) Meet with the Human Rights Commission: July 17 Council study session. <br />5) Meet with the Civil Service Commission: July 24 regular Council meeting. <br />6) Meet with the Housing and Redevelopment Commission: August 14 regular Council <br />meeting. <br />I envision one-hour meetings at regularly scheduled City Council meetings. You could meet <br />around the large table within the Council Chambers. Of course, these meetings would be <br />cablecast and rebroadcast along with the rest of your regular meetings. An agenda would include <br />introductions, general comments, and specific policy issues of mutual interest. Of course, any <br />Councilmember or Commissioner could designate an item or items for these agendas. <br />Alternatives include meeting on the Commission's regular meeting dates and times as part of <br />their meeting rather than as part of your regular meetings on designated Mondays. The <br />Commissions meet on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, once a month. Other alternatives include <br />special meeting dates, such as a Saturday, or having the Council meet with more than one <br />Commission at a time. <br />� <br />
