Process: In an informal workshop format involving City Council Members and the Interim City Manager and facilitated by Waldron staff the group will be asked to focus on the positive, the times when they have been particularly successful in working together and with the community. From these experiences will come an outline of the protocols or desired conduct so those successful experiences will become the norm for conducting the City's business. Given the limitation of time there are three proposed areas of focus, (1) City Council Meetings, (2) City Council Staff Relations, and (3) City Council Community Relations. Each area will be addressed separately with each member of the group answering each question for themselves then sharing it with the group followed by a group discussion and hopefully consensus. Waldron staff will record the results at the time and prepare a written follow on report. 1. Area of Focus - City Council Meetings: Think about one or more of your most effective council meetings, one(s) you felt good about the process, how you worked together, etc. and answer the following questions individually. We will then discuss as a group. a. What was the subject? b. What kind of meeting was it? E.g. Regular meeting, work session, executive session, etc.? c. Why was it effective or what made it effective? Why was it a good meeting? d. What were Council Members and Mayor doing/not doing? e. What was the city manager & staff doing/not doing? f.
