Her role will be the overall facilitator bringing citizens and businesses together to discuss the future of the City and prepare a document outlining a plan for the City. Ms. Sullivan briefly reviewed the work that she has completed this week. She is in the process of reviewing how other cities have prepared their "vision" documents. After all interviews have been completed and "vision" committees have completed their work, she will prepare the final documents and put together action items for the City Council to review. Ms. Sullivan said that she is enjoying the project. After the first of the year, a mailing will be prepared to City residents inviting them to participate in forums which are tentatively scheduled for late January. Council Member Bergeson explained that he is concerned because Ms. Sullivan is a City resident. It was his recollection that when the 20/20 Vision project was initiated, the Council had decided that no City resident including the City Council and City Boards and Commission would participate in the project so that there would be no possible bias. Council Member Bergeson said that he is not questioning Ms. Sullivan's work or credentials, however he felt that the matter should be discussed before any additional work is started. 1 1 1
