Council discusses timing and agenda for 2025 retreat; seeks input on dates and format
Summary
Staff proposed dates and a draft agenda for the council retreat, which will include a strategic plan review, perception discussions and a potential community survey; council asked for a half‑day format and a nearby venue.
City staff outlined proposed dates and a draft agenda for the council’s annual retreat and asked council members for scheduling preferences.
Patrick, a city staff member coordinating the retreat, said staff is proposing one of three Thursday dates (February 27, March 6 or March 13) for a half‑day retreat and offered several possible venues, including the library or a nearby utility facility. He said staff plans introductions, an overview and reaffirmation/reprioritization exercise for the city’s strategic plan, an interactive discussion of perceptions and a follow‑up community survey proposal.
Council feedback on scope and format
Council members favored a half‑day, morning‑focused session at a nearby location. Members discussed timing around other calendars and an outstanding council vacancy; Patrick said the retreat was scheduled later this cycle to allow a newly appointed council member to participate. Councilmembers John and Patrick volunteered to lead the retreat rather than bring an external moderator.
Ending
Staff will finalize a date based on availability and will return with logistics and a refined agenda. No formal vote was taken.
