ITEM TITLE:
Discussion of potential City Council Retreat, including possible dates and topics
PREPARED BY: !Leslie Deese, City Manager DEPARTMENT: City Manager
PHONE: 619-336-4240 APPROVED BY
EXPLANATION:
At the November 19, 2013 City Council meeting, Councilmember Rios asked staff for an update on
scheduling a city council retreat. While the subject of scheduling a retreat has come up on different
occasions, council has not provided direction to staff. The purpose of this item is to provide council with
an opportunity to discuss whether to hold a retreat, and if so, the timing, as well as potential topics and
objectives.
Should the City Council give direction to plan a retreat, staff will bring back information on available
options and formats, facilitators, costs and other necessary next steps. A retreat would be held in
compliance with the Brown Act: an agenda would be timely posted, matters of discussion and/or action
would be on the agenda, the meeting would be held open to the public, and all materials provided to
council for the retreat would be available to the public.
