SUBJEeT: Time Estimates - Council Action
DATE: August 11, 2005
In an effort to better keep Council agendas on track, beginning with this agenda, staffwill
provide estimates of time needed to address certain issues. In the current layout of the
agenda, we sometimes have issues that require significant time to discuss, but are placed
near the end of the agenda. If the discussion gets delayed in the early part of the meeting,
it sometimes leaves insufficient time to talk about the other items of significance which
are scheduled later on the agenda.
This system is similar to what is done by the Shakopee School Board for their agenda.
While the times are only estimates, they will allow us to monitor anticipated progress on
the agenda.
Note that this will be for non-consent items only. If an item is removed from consent (or
conversely, placed on consent), it will impact the length ofthe meeting.
