DISCUSSION

The annual City Council retreat and workshop is typically held in January and/or February and is an important part of City operations.  At this meeting, Council has an opportunity to learn and collaborate with city staff and identify goals and objectives for the coming year.  

 

This meeting is typically held in-person, but with COVID-19 restrictions this is not an option.  We would like to have Council direction on how to proceed with scheduling this meeting and have prepared a draft agenda for your review and consideration.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION 
City Council may choose not to have an annual retreat/workshop for 2021.  This would greatly impact City Council and staff because this meeting is vital to providing direction for the upcoming year for both parties.  Alternatively, Council may choose to delay the retreat/workshop until later in 2021 when an in-person meeting is viable.
