Title
Goal Setting Retreat (NB)
The City Commission discuss the dates for the City Commission Goal Setting retreat.
Explanation
On January 22, 2007, the City Commission approved a 2-day goal setting retreat to be held on November 30, 2007 and December 1, 2007. It has since been determined that a 2-day retreat may not be necessary at this time. In addition, during individual discussions with Commissioners, it has come to staff's attention that conflicts may exist with the current dates.
At this time, staff would like to discuss the following alternatives. 1) Confirm the dates as originally approved with deletion of day two on December 1, 2007; 2) Reschedule the retreat on Thursday, November 29, 2007 to accommodate changes in commitments. This will require rescheduling or canceling the Community Development Committee meeting for November. The facilitator can also accommodate this date change; 3) Reschedule the retreat to another agreed upon date.
A second issue that has been raised is the focus of the strategic planning session with respect to each of the six charter officers. In years past, all charter officers have attended this session, however, the discussion has focused predominantly around the strategic objectives for the City Manager. The Equal Opportunity Director has held separate workshops to discuss the goals and objectives for his office. In order to clearly define the scope of this session, the City Commission may wish to discuss their expectations for each charter office.
Fiscal Note
None at this time.
Recommendation
The City Commission 1) reschedule the Goals Setting Retreat to December 3, 2007, 2) reschedule or cancel the Community Development Committee, and 3) discuss the scope of the strategic planning session and take action as appropriate.
Alternative Recommendation A:
The City Commission: 1) confirm the dates as originally approved for the Goal Setting Retreat with the deletion of day two on Decemb...
