The purpose of the <br /> Teambuilding Workshop would be to have Council, myself and Tim <br /> Cruikshank meet in an informal setting and develop the professional <br /> framework in which we will all work together in the future. <br /> Sue Hankner has suggested that we all do the Meyers-Briggs. It has <br /> been a while since most of the current Councilmembers have <br /> completed that instrument and Julie, Tim and I have not taken it <br /> since we began our tenure with the City. I think the suggestion is <br /> an excellent one as I have found the Meyers-Briggs to be a very <br /> worthwhile instrument that helps one better understand themselves <br /> and others, but most importantly, it helps one to better understand <br /> others and how they perceive and process their environment. <br /> Two weeks ago, I was contacted by a Plymouth Councilmember who was <br /> interested in information regarding the City's Charter amendment on <br /> term limits. During the course of the conversation he mentioned the , <br /> Pro-Plymouth Pledge. It was mentioned in the context of another <br /> subject so he did not elaborate, but it caught my attention (I <br /> think primarily because of the alliteration) . Later that day I <br /> requested that Tim C. obtain from Plymouth this "Pro-Plymouth <br /> Pledge" . I have attached the document. <br /> Recently, Cathy, Tim C. and I were brainstorming about marketing <br /> and public relations and began to talk about the Pro-Plymouth <br /> Pledge and a suggestion by Susan Fisher (Marketing Task Force) that <br /> the City institute a P.R. program with a catchy title such as MVP - <br /> Mounds View Pride. Well, the brainstorming began in ernest then. <br /> We began to extrapolate from the concept of a Mounds View Pledge <br /> entered into by Council and staff to a City-wide Mounds View Pledge <br /> (MVP) with the P symbolizing Pride, People, Positiveness, <br /> Professionalism, Pro-active, and so on. The MV Pledge could be <br /> presented to the community at the Festival and, like the City's <br /> 6 . <br /> PRINTED WITH <br /> SOYINK � <br /> 2401 Highway 10 • Mounds View, MN 55112-1499 49 <br /> recycled paper <br />
