<br />Councilmember Jeffrey stated that he wants to make sure the topic list does not get too long. <br /> <br />Mayor Ramsey suggested that there be a ranking system for the items on the list. <br /> <br />Councilmember Look stated that staff also brings items for discussion, so he thinks the question <br />has to be asked of whose item has priority. He stated that there currently is not a ranking system. <br /> <br />Councilmember Jeffrey stated that the February strategic planning meeting will set priorities for <br />the year and suggested that these issues are ranked according to the top priorities that are set at <br />the meeting. <br /> <br />Councilmember McGlone stated that people could bring up topics during Citizen Input at the <br />Council meeting, which would also set up an agenda item. He stated that the Council could <br />encourage residents to speak up in this forum if things are important to them. <br /> <br />Mayor Ramsey stated that he thinks there is value in looking at the actual issue and moving it <br />forward as quickly as possible. <br /> <br />Councilmember Look stated that if a Work Session is ending early, perhaps some of the things <br />from the future topics list could be shoehorned in. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dehen asked if there was a public notice issue if the Council discussed future <br />items. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich stated that he thinks that may be problematic. He stated that the Council <br />should be careful about discussing items that are not listed on the agenda. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dehen suggested that the agenda could be re-written to allow extra topics, if <br />time permits. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich stated that these could be easily added if they are not directly tied to a <br />resident or a consultant. <br /> <br />Mayor Ramsey suggested that a disclaimer could be added, if time permits. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dehen stated that he looked at the survey of the top three issues, but, his big <br />issues are getting the R TC going and getting a rail station, and he did not think that this is what <br />City Administrator Ulrich was looking for. <br /> <br />There was a Consensus to have a written policy for getting items added to agendas. <br /> <br />Assistant City Administrator Nelson stated that staff would put together a draft policy for <br />Council review. <br /> <br />City Council Work Session /January 6, 2009 <br />Page 4 of 16 <br />
