Item No.
CONSIDER RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING DATES OF REGULAR
2012 CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSIONS
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve resolution
establishing dates of regular 2012 City Council Work Sessions
Adoption of this motion will result in advance notice to the public, the City Council, and
City staff of each work session, providing ample time for preparation of agenda materials.
Overview
Work sessions are generally scheduled for the fourth Monday of each month, with the
exception of May and December. Work Sessions in these two months are scheduled
on the second Monday to accommodate a legal holiday. Additional special work
sessions can be added at the Council's discretion.
Visitors at Work Sessions usually consist of residents and the press. The Marion
Conference Room is long and narrow and visitors who are seated on chairs at the end
of the table have a difficult time hearing what is being said at the other end of the room.
At the November 28, 2011 Work Session, Council agreed to relocate the Work Sessions
to the Water Treatment Facility to better accommodate the growing number of citizens
who attend the Work Sessions, while still providing a setting which is conducive to
Council discussions. Work Sessions will begin at 6:00 p.m.
Primary Issues to Consider
• Will the Water Treatment Facility accommodate the public?
The tables at the WTF can be arranged to better support discussion with the public and
between Council Members.
