· Plan for the future.
Process: Staff members will present a summary of recommendations (no longer than 10 minutes) in their area of expertise. Mayor and Council will have position papers a week in advance of the planning session to review so staff will limit presentation time. Each follows the same presentation format:
v Identify Need (Current or Anticipated)
v Desired Outcome
v Briefly Explore Alternative
v Recommendations (Including Time Line)
At end of each brief presentation, the Manager will ask for permission to move ahead with planning process or plan implementation and analysis for funding during the budget process. The bulk of the time will be for Mayor and Council to ask questions, discuss the recommendation and provide feedback.
