Department heads keep monthly Park County meetings; group favors a standing placeholder
Summary
Attendees discussed whether to hold department-head meetings monthly, biweekly or quarterly; the group broadly supported keeping a monthly placeholder (with cancellations when there's no substantive agenda) and suggested moving to a Thursday 9 a.m. time slot to improve attendance.
Moderator asked the group whether department-head meetings should remain monthly or move to a different cadence; participants recommended keeping a monthly placeholder but canceling when there is no substantive agenda.
Several attendees said a standing monthly meeting encourages mutual awareness across departments and provides a forum for deeper training or 'deep dives' on specific topics. One participant proposed shifting to Thursday at 9 a.m. to avoid conflicts with other standing safety meetings and to make it easier for staff to attend.
Why it matters: department-head meetings are the primary internal forum for cross-department coordination, budget submission notes and operational updates. Leaders urged mutual ownership of the agenda to avoid overburdening administrative staff with planning.
Next steps: the moderator said she will keep a monthly meeting on the calendar and may send reminders in advance; she also said she will plan the next meeting for a Thursday at 9 a.m. to accommodate participants.
