Mayor and City Council <br />March 9, 1990 <br />Page 2 <br />Involvement in Organizations Outside of City: <br />(League of Minnesota Cities, International City Management <br />Association, Minnesota City Management Association, <br />Metropolitan Area Management Association, and RCLLG) <br />With this item, I am expecting to be a participant in all <br />j of these organizations. The question is to what degree? I <br />feel there is an indirect benefit to the City in serving on <br />various committees or holding offices with these <br />organizations. Benefits would take the form of "being in <br />the know" about issues and improved recognition of our <br />community. The trade off is time away from the office. At <br />this point, I plan on attending the relevant conferences <br />and meetings and possibly serving on a committee or two. <br />(I am presently on the Minnesota City Management <br />Association's spring conference planning committee.) <br />I would like to know if the Council concurs with my opinion <br />or if you have another perspective. <br />Communications with City Council: <br />Communication is the key to a well - runned organization and <br />I want to know if I am meeting your expectations in this <br />regard. Here are my specific concerns: <br />* Are agenda materials meeting your expectations? <br />* Do you have any guidelines regarding the types of <br />communications you expect that I may not now be <br />doing? <br />* To help insure that all members are receiving <br />information as equally as possible, would you like <br />to set up monthly sessions on a one on one basis? <br />Possibly we could meet for breakfast, lunch or at <br />some other time of convenience whereby I could <br />address your information needs and update you on <br />issues as I see them. <br />Administrator's Function with Park and Planning <br />Commissions: <br />For this item, I would like you to define what your <br />expectations of me are in this regard. Let me emphasize <br />that I feel a strong sense of responsibility for the <br />operation of the City and to that extent I expect to be <br />knowledgable about the activities of these Commissions. I <br />would also expect, at a minimum, to be available to these <br />people on an "as needed" basis when my services are <br />required. Do you have other expectations that I should <br />address? <br />
