City Council <br />Study Session Summary <br />October 9, 2018 <br />Page 3 of 3 <br />recommendations or provide input on their thoughts to Council before making decisions. <br />Some feel that Council can't have all the information on every single issue, so having <br />committees helps build experts that can then inform the broader conversation by <br />providing context and perspective. <br />How can we do both? There are advantages to doing committee work, but there are <br />some issues that may warrant deeper conversation, and we could have some sort of <br />check with each committee issue that is more substantive than a report. Suggestion is <br />to have each committee discuss what they do that can be accomplished just by <br />committee, vs. full Council, and what they recommend would be beneficial for full <br />Council to understand in order to make decisions on an issue. Recommendation to <br />have two Council meetings/Study sessions each year, one in the spring and one in the <br />fall, which would help lay the groundwork for budget discussions, and then <br />update/inform on relevant budget issues. <br />Advanced Agenda: <br />Budget — Will the info presented on Friday, October 12, need to make some decisions <br />on outstanding issues, and then will make wholesale changes that will come back in the <br />next version. <br />Is Council interested in having an advanced agenda item regarding the RTD 228 <br />Extension Service? Yes, if it's possible to have a timely conversation about it. The RTD <br />decision will be made at RTD next Tuesday, so further discussion may not be <br />necessary/possible. <br />Meeting adjourned at 8:45 <br />Submitted by— Megan Davis <br />October 16, 2018 <br />
