A. Decisions, Feedback & Information needed by staff
1. Contacting Council Members
1) 1) For the day-to-day questions and information, please review the attached chart to ensure that we are following the best procedure for contacting you.
2) 2) For the occasional letters from the Chair or from the full Council, please let us know how it is best to gain your feedback and approval. There are several questions we have to ensure that we are doing this in the best way for you.
So far, this has been our practice for sending draft letters:
Cindy Gust-Jenson reviewed contact information with the Council
Carlton - email...........second choice- his cell phone
Van - phone review...............ok
Eric - fax to work...............ok
Nancy - fax to B&B..................call the Bed and Breakfast prior to sending fax Jill - email................ok
Dave -email (when needed)...................second choice- his work phone
Dale - fax to work................ok
Are these the most effective ways to contact you for letter review?
If we need to have your feedback by a certain time, can the liaisons or front office staff call to notify you about the letter?
On routine thank
you letters, do you want to be contacted, or are we safe to assume that there
are no objections if we do not hear back within three days?
Council Members
said they did not need to review each routine thank you letters
2. Property Conveyance: Property adjacent to Mick Riley Golf Course is in dispute. The exchange of property with an additional $10,976 to the City has been negotiated to clear up the dispute. The land is currently used by the County and no negative impacts are anticipated.
