Council schedules strategic planning session discussion; keeps city-hall renovation on the radar
Summary
Councilmembers agreed to pursue a strategic planning session (likely a Saturday in early October or soon after fiscal year start) to set priorities; they also reiterated the need to plan for city hall and police-station renovations, with staff to include building planning in the session agenda.
Councilmembers raised the need for a dedicated strategic planning session to set council priorities and to coordinate with staff. Several members preferred a Saturday working breakfast or a short Saturday workshop after the fiscal year begins (early October was suggested); staff was asked to circulate two or three possible dates to the council, using reply-only scheduling to avoid inadvertent quorum formation in email. The meeting would be an open special meeting and would require a quorum.
Councilmembers also flagged the long-discussed renovation and remodeling of city hall and the police station as a key planning topic. Members said prior schematic and engineering work exists and that a planning-session agenda should revisit drawings, funding options and possible phasing rather than make an immediate decision. No formal vote was taken; staff and council agreed to coordinate on dates and agenda items.
