Council members urge new member to work with staff during transition
Summary
Council members welcomed newly sworn-in member Jeremy and urged him to rely on city staff for onboarding, with one member saying staff guidance "made a huge difference" during their first year.
Council members welcomed Jeremy after his swearing-in and encouraged him to work closely with municipal staff as he transitions into the role.
One council member (Speaker S2) advised Jeremy to "work with our staff" and said that during their first year they relied on staff guidance heavily because it "made a huge difference." Vice Chair Grama (Speaker S1) and the presiding member (Speaker S3) echoed that recommendation, urging collaboration and communication across council members to better understand upcoming agenda items.
Speakers emphasized staff's role in supplying factual information rather than opinions and offered availability to help Jeremy learn meeting cadence and ongoing projects.
