<br />WS – Item 5 <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item No. 5 <br /> <br /> <br />Date: February 6, 2017 <br /> <br />To: City Council <br /> <br />From: Jeff Karlson <br /> <br />Re: Strategic Planning/Goal Setting <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />The City Council expressed interest in scheduling a strategic planning work session this <br />winter. The last one was conducted in February 2015 by Phil Barnes of WSB & <br />Associates, Inc. <br /> <br />I contacted two meeting facilitators who were recommended by other cities. Attached is <br />a proposal from Bruce Miles of Big River Group. The other facilitator I spoke to was <br />Richard Fursman of Hue Life. I did not get a price quote from Bruce Miles, but Mr. <br />Fursman estimated it would cost $4,000 to $5,000 for their services. <br /> <br />The previous two times the City Council and management team participated in strategic <br />planning workshops, the meetings were held two consecutive weekday evenings. An all- <br />day Friday or Saturday session is also an option. <br /> <br />Requested Council Direction <br /> <br />Consider scheduling tentative dates for a strategic planning work session. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />Proposal from Big River Group <br />Information about Hue Life <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
