At the regular business meeting of February 4, 2014, the City Council of the City of Nation provided direction to staff
to plan a City Council retreat with an emphasis on policy and strategic planning. Further direction was given to bring back a
calendar of events to assist the Council in determining a timeframe for the retreat. hi assembling the calendar of events
(attachment), staff looked to sources such as the City's internal events calendar, temporary use permit applications, facility
use permit applications, the Chamber of Commerce and the local school districts.
At this time, staff is still working with the retreat facilitator on his availability. Therefore, staff requests that the City Council
provide a multiple dates for staff to work with. A choice of dates will also be helpful in the process of reserving a meeting
location. Based on the attached calendar of events, staff recommends that the Council consider the month of June. It is
recommended that the retreat occur outside of the regular meeting schedule. Non -Council Tuesdays are given as an option
given that Council has a past practice of workshops on such Tuesdays. In the alternative, Friday and Saturday dates are also
suggested as a way of establishing the ietieats uniqueness, removing it further from the traditional meeting routine. Specific
dates recommended are:
