MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />JANUARY 14, 2015 <br />the strategic planning process proposed which would include two sessions, <br />one of approximately 5 hours and another for about 3 hours. He noted that <br />the City has not done a comprehensive strategic planning session of this <br />nature for well over 15 years, and felt that given the new Mayor and two <br />new Council Members, it would be appropriate to have a session of this <br />nature. <br />Keis reported that he and the City Administrator met with Craig Rapp to <br />review the parameters of the session proposed, and Keis was in support of <br />conducting his session. He also noted that Rapp has extensive experience <br />in this area. <br />The Council discussed their availability and it was suggested that a <br />Tuesday/Thursday combination for the two sessions was workable. The <br />Administrator indicated that he would contact Rapp for specific <br />Tuesday/Thursday dates and would report back to the Council. <br />The Administrator noted that the proposal also includes an optional <br />session for developing action plans, and suggested that once the two <br />strategic planning sessions are concluded, the decision should be made on <br />whether or not this optional session was needed. He also noted that the <br />proposal also includes a teambuilding session. The Administrator stated <br />that at this point his recommendation would be to conduct the two <br />strategic planning sessions with a decision deferred on the two optional <br />sessions. The Council agreed that proceeding with the strategic planning <br />sessions is a worthwhile endeavor. <br />Montour introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />RESOLUTION NO. 2015-1-9 — APPROVING THE CITY ENTERING <br />INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH CRAIG RAPP LLC FOR <br />CONDUCTING A STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS AT A COST <br />OF $4,950, WITH A DETERMINATION TO BE MADE AT A LATER <br />DATE ON THE OPTIONAL SESSIONS, AND AUTHORIZING THE <br />MAYOR AND CITY ADMINISTRATOR TO EXECUTE THE <br />AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE CITY <br />The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by McGraw. <br />Ayes (5). <br />Nays (0).
