Action Requested
1. Review the proposed worksession agendas and let staff know if there are changes or additions
needed.
2. Discuss future worksession topics.
Background/Discussion
On the first Council meeting of each month the City Council reviews the worksession agendas for future
meetings.
Council member Zerwas has just notified me that he will not be at the December 15 meeting. In order to
adopt the tax levy and budget at a televised meeting with all council members present, I am suggesting
that the Council meet on camera immediately following the EDA meeting on December 8 to approve the
tax levy and budget before going into worksession. In discussing the EDA agenda with Jeff Gongoll, we
estimate that the EDA meeting will go until about 6:30.
Further, we met with the patrol union on November 25 to discuss the 2009-2010 contract. I would like
to request a closed meeting to discuss patrol union negotiations on December 8. This would possibly
allow enough time to get the contract approved before the end of the year. Additionally, staff has been
researching expanding the rental licensing program and commercial licensing and would like to discuss
these at this worksession so the programs could be implemented in 2009 if the Council agrees. Because
of these time sensitive items that should to be addressed at the December 8 meeting, it may be best to
move the performance review into January so there is adequate time for discussion.
Proposed agendas axe as follows:
December 8
IZ
^ Televised meeting for adoption of tax levy
and budget
^ Closed meeting to discuss union negotiations
^ Rental licensing program expansion
^ Commercial licensing program
^ Performance Review of City Administrator -
delayed from December 8 due to meeting topics
