<br />City Council <br />Study Session Summary <br />September 11, 2007 <br />Page 5 of 5 <br /> <br />member Clabots agreed and mentioned that the City could see how Lafayette's <br />program worked and possibly use it as a guideline. <br />Council member Sackett suggested that in addition to the list Fleming could <br />begin looking into cost saving collaborations with other local municipalities and <br />the county, such as what the City has done with the Town of Superior in regards <br />to the Library. Sackett said it is important that the City remain open-minded in <br />this area. He also suggested that it be made clear that the list is in addition to the <br />City Manager's regular job description as referenced in the City Charter. <br /> <br />Council member Frost commended Fleming for having on the list fiscal analysis <br />and affordable housing. <br /> <br />Mayor Sisk commented that Fleming has already looked into cost saving <br />measures by using laptops for Council Meetings and going paperless for the <br />packets. The Mayor also said he would like see the following added to the list: <br />better public relations, such as, calling back within 24 hours; mining for grants; <br />and a plan to get employees in a comparable pay range with other regional cities <br />for retention and recruitment purposes. He suggested that Council revisit the <br />goals on a quarterly basis. <br /> <br />5.
