City Council Study Session — OS/15/06 DRAFT Minutes - Page 12 Mayor Klausing suggested that staff schedule a quarterly meeting with interested Councilmembers, at the discretion of the City Manager and applicable staff schedules and work loads. It was Council consensus, and City Manager Beets was directed to schedule quarterly meetings between Department Heads and individual Councilmembers depending on staff schedules and work loads; share the schedule with Councilmembers; with Councilmembers advising the City Manager one week in advance if interested in meeting with staff.
