Wrap-up Wrap-up <br />As the time was now after 1:00 p.m., Mayor Klausing noted that <br />each participant may have come to the meeting with different <br />expectations and perceptions, and noted this meeting as the start <br />of communication, to be followed by Town Hall meetings to talk <br />to neighbors; which would then be followed by Council-level <br />discussions, and the budget process as priorities and policy issues <br />were determined. <br />Councilmember Maschka addressed the need to tap into "baby <br />boomers," and their increased longevity, revolving <br />retirement that could create opportunities for the City from <br />a staffing concept (ie., reserve internships, flexibility, <br />expertise and tremendous volunteer pool). <br />Further discussion included changing needs in parks and <br />services, and addressing parents versus daycare providers; the <br />common human nature of all people; and need for a community <br />gathering space. <br />City Manager Beets concluded discussion by noting that today's <br />comments would be processed, and on behalf of staff thanked <br />Councilmembers and Chairpersons for their participation. Mr. <br />Beets asked for patience as the process was continued over the <br />next few months, and acknowledged the valuable feedback <br />received today. <br />11 Adjourn Adjourn <br />Mayor Klausing thanked everyone for their participation and <br />adjourned the meeting at approximately 1:15 p.m. <br />ATTEST: <br />Craig D.
