5. F. 7.
CITY OF SHAKOPEE CONSE'~T
Memorandum
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Mark McNeill, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Joint Meeting/Public Works Workshop
DATE: February 12, 2009
Comment:
Introduction:
The Council is asked to schedule a joint meeting with the Telecommunications Advisory
Commission, and also hold a workshop to discuss Public Works issues on Tuesday,
March 24.
Background:
There is a need to have Council meet to discuss a couple of items outside of a regular
City Council meeting:
1. Joint meeting with the Telecommunications Advisory Commission. Changes
in accounting standards with which the City must comply should be reviewed
with the TAC and the City Council. These changes will have an impact on the
way the T AC has operated previously. In addition, the Public Works Director
has a desire to review Geographic Information Systems (GIS), which will be
of interest to both the City Council and T AC members.
2. Several Public Works issues in addition to GIS (above) should be discussed
with the City Council at a workshop to follow the joint T AC meeting. Those
issues include the discussion of street sweeping policies, a recently completed
organizational study, and an update on other Public Works projects.
It is estimated that 45-60 minutes will be needed for the joint T AC meeting and
approximately 90 minutes for Public Works information.
In reviewing the attached calendar, we suggest Tuesday, March 24,2009. This would
give the T AC the opportunity to discuss changes prior to their regularly scheduled March
meeting.
Relationship to Visioning:
This supports Goal D, (Vibrant, Resilient, and Stable).
Recommendation:
I recommend that a Joint meeting with the TAC, and City Council workshop be
scheduled for Tuesday, March 24th.
Action Required:
If the Council concurs, it should, by motion, establish a joint meeting with the T AC and
City Council Workshop for Tuesday, March 24,2009 at 7:00 pm in the City Council
Chambers.
