4.FORMAT OF THE WORK SESSION:

Work Sessions are “informal” opportunities for Council to meet and discuss City operations and business directly with City Staff in a non-decisional forum (one that does not require votes of/by Council). The Mayor and Council may direct, guide, and advise City Staff on City projects and programs. The Public is welcomed to attend but may not be afforded the opportunity to speak or engage (this is at the discretion of the Mayor). However, the Mayor and Council may address specific issues posed by community members, ask individuals to attend to present their issues to Council, and may direct City Staff to resolve those issues.
