1 <br />1989 WORK PLAN COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 11, 1989 <br />other cities who have prepared a brochure regarding the <br />community containing such items as population figures, a map <br />showing where the city is in relation to the metro area or <br />county, staff members and other special things about the <br />city. Usually a copy of this brochure is kept at the front <br />desk for the public to pick up. Mr. Bisel noted that the <br />Economic Developmen&Committee (EDC) is working on preparing <br />a brochure for business prospects and one for the general <br />public. Mayor Benson said this brochure does not have to be <br />long and should be updated three or four times a year. He <br />felt citizens looked forward to this type of an item being <br />mailed to their homes. <br />Mr. Reinert said he has heard that sometimes Mr. Schumacher <br />could be a better listener. He suggested that Mr. Schumacher <br />listen to his staff more to get a melding of their thoughts <br />and ideas: Mr. Schumacher said he would like to spend more <br />time with everyone but the time is not available. <br />a 9 <br />Mr. Neal said he was concerned about what the people on the <br />different boards and commissions do. Their words and actions <br />also ref 1ect on this City. He told the Council about an <br />incident at a local restaurant and explained that this <br />incident could have been avoided if the citizen had realized <br />what board meeting he was attending. Mr. Neal suggested that <br />name cards be purchased for each board or commission member <br />and used at the Council table when that board or commission <br />is meeting....,__,.He also. suggested that the name of the.board or <br />commission-be-Posted outside of the door during the-meeting <br />so that any citizen entering the reception area will know <br />what group is meeting. Mr. Neal explained that the Council <br />is getting the blame for something that a Planning and Zoning <br />Board member said some time ago. This could be avoided. Mr. <br />Bisel said he had asked for name cards some time ago. Mr. <br />Schumacher said he was waiting until all of the appointments <br />have been made so that he can purchase them all at one time. <br />Mayor Benson asked that Mr. Schumacher put time tables on <br />some of the items just discussed. <br />CABLE T V AND MUNICIPAL ACCESS CHANNEL <br />Mr. Neal said he thought it would be a good idea to go to the <br />area high schools and see if there are one or two students <br />available to televise certain events such as meetings, areas <br />of police work, areas of fire department work and park <br />activities to promote the City or let the citizens know what <br />is happening in their City. He further suggested taping a <br />ride when the City streets are being plowed after a heavy <br />snow storm or taping a little league game. <br />Mr. Reinert asked what has happened to the access line for <br />the local Cable T V station. Mr. Schumacher explained that <br />all of the equipment is here at city hall and he is working <br />
