RE: Goal Setting Session
Mayor iioke and I hrtve met wi.th �a.zne Traxl�r. �f 13Pci.si.nn
ItesQurces to clisctrss the i.def� oC �7 gv�tl setting �ession �nd I�ow
their firm might play �i ��art in i!: as f-acilitatnrs .
During that meeting, areas of concern that were addressed
included; that Diane or Bill would facilitate our decision
making, not lead us to their determination of what our
information says, that this was a first for many of us and we
would all need assistance in understanding just what a session
like this ean and cannot do, and finally, that this will be a
group of policy makers and staff and therefore it is important to
understand that an important part of this session will be the
coming together on what the issues are and Mow they can be
addressed - not necessarily the ability to have gro�p consensus
on what decision is right or wrong on specific issues.
Although brief, the attached letter of proposal reflects what I
believe is Diane's understanding of our needs and how she and
Bill will assist us in such a session.
I believe we have to be realistic in our expectations as to
results from such a session, but I have high hopes on what we can
accamplish in this first session.
With her per hour fee quoted, I would estimate that an eight hour
session, including meals and meeting room (possibly at the
Holiday Inn in Burnsville) the entire cost would be about
$1,200.04. We could hoid thi� from 2 :00 p,m. until 10:00 p.m. on
a weekday or 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. on a Saturday. I wauld
suggest that either would work we11.
Your appravaY to accept Bill and Diane's proposal on an hourly
basis and City staff's proceeding to set up the session would be
in order.
I would be pleased t4 discuss this in more length at the meeting.
