Summary

Staff will share findings from a survey of more than 100 volunteers who serve on Ames boards and commissions; the item is on the consent agenda and reports on volunteer experience outreach undertaken since last year.

Goldbeck told the podcast that the council will receive a report sharing results of an outreach effort to more than 100 volunteers who serve on Ames boards and commissions. "One of the things we started doing last year was just connecting with those volunteers and saying, hey, how's your experience going?" Goldbeck said.

The item is on the consent agenda and will present summarized feedback from volunteers; council action is likely to be routine unless a member requests the item be pulled for discussion. The preview did not list specific recommendations, survey questions, or proposed policy changes arising from the outreach; those details were not specified in the podcast and should be consulted in the meeting packet if needed.

The city characterized the outreach as an ongoing effort to check in with civic volunteers and improve volunteer engagement; the podcast preview framed it as informational for council.
