Regular City Council Meeting Monday, February 14,2011 Page 31 Councilmember Johnson suggested that, as part of the staff/City Council roundta- ble discussion, the "must do's" needed to be determined for the second year as well. While not being critical, Councilmember Johnson noted that it wasn't done for the 2011 budget, and needed to be done at some point.
