Councilmember LeTourneau stated the structure of the Strategic Plan is sound but it appears staff <br />may be suggesting to reprioritize or eliminate or add items. <br />City Administrator Ulrich stated there may be all three. <br />Councilmember LeTourneau stated if it is operational, staff could undertake that without Council <br />involvement. <br />City Administrator Ulrich stated staff could prepare and present the annual report as well as <br />items that will be worked on in 2014. He agreed the Strategic Plan foundation is solid and the <br />mission is established so if the Council is comfortable, it could be undertaken through a staff <br />effort and considered as a 2014 action plan. <br />City Administrator Ulrich stated the policy is that when the Work Session starts at 6 p.m. or <br />later, meals are not provided. He asked if the Council supported continuation of that policy. <br />Mayor Strommen stated she and others on the Council are commuters and just get to the meeting <br />by 6 p.m. when driving directly from day jobs so providing a meal is more of a convenience. <br />She stated she does not mind contributing towards the cost of the food, if needed. <br />Councilmember LeTourneau suggested the food choices be more hardy and healthy than pizza. <br />Councilmember Tossey stated the day he was sworn in the food served included filet mignon and <br />shrimp, about which he was appalled, so he is ardently against it. <br />City Administrator Ulrich stated staff will look at food options. <br />5.
