In <br />addition, there are two new Councilmembers and Councilmember Johns did not participate in <br />that last effort. In that effort, it brought all to the process, gained alignment, and commitment to <br />bring the City forward. Councilmember LeTourneau stated a cost of $15,000 to bring in a <br />facilitator that is trained and will bring the deliverables is money well spent so he would support <br />the use of an outside facilitator to bring all to that spot. <br />Councilmember Kuzma stated he is torn on this decision because he feels the process of two <br />years ago was helpful in the healing of the Council and staff and to bring focus. But the City <br />also spent money to conduct a community survey that addressed the Council's strategic goals. <br />He noted the Strategic Plan contains next steps and while it would be nice to have the facilitator, <br />he would ask if it is really needed. <br />The Council agreed with the suggestion of Mayor Strommen to add this Case to tonight's <br />Council Agenda for further discussion. <br />3.
