The City Council and staff share in <br />a large amount of pride in working together for the <br />best interests of the citizens of the community. The <br />work sessions are recognized for positive, healthy <br />and productive discussions. Each individual <br />opinion is respected and all ideas are welcome. This <br />is an important priority and post session feedback <br />reinforced this outcome for the discussions that <br />took place. <br />The participants were asked to reflect upon qualities <br />that make up top functioning municipal <br />governments. The facilitator introduced several <br />concepts for consideration. The Council members <br />noted the high value of working as a team, the "It <br />Factor" and having strong trusting relationships. <br />
