Work Sessions are less formal meetings of the City Council to encourage dialog between themselves, staff, consultants and invited members of the public. The Council does not
typically take official action on items under discussion. At the conclusion of a discussion, a simple Council consensus provides staff direction for execution of the item. This
portion of the agenda is audio recorded but not video recorded or broadcast. Work Sessions are open to the public, however, visitors who wish to provide input must be invited
by the Mayor, assume a seat at the discussion table and provide their full name and address for the official record.
