City Council Announcements

A. 2:04:12 PM Information Needed by Council Staff
1. Council Members Love and Martin would like to request that the Council consider authorizing up to $5000 from the Council office budget for the purpose of hiring a facilitator to help process issues relating to neighborhood conservation and historic preservation. It is hoped that the effort could be of value city wide.
Is the Council supportive of this request?
Councilmember Christensen said he hoped this would help with future issues. Councilmember Martin said some neighborhood leaders had come forward and would help with future neighborhood issue solutions. Most Council Members were in favor of a facilitator. Councilmember Love said letting the decision come from the community was the answer and would become the model for other neighborhoods. Councilmember Love said she and Councilmember Martin would raise some of the issues with the neighborhood and work with a facilitator.
2. Staff is inquiring to see if Council Members would be interested in having more than one Council Member at each small group budget meeting to bounce ideas off one another.
Below is a list of the meetings that are scheduled.
If this approach doesn’t fit your schedule, we will continue with the original budget meeting schedule.
