Communications and Events Coordinator Thorstad stated that as related to Happy Days staff will plan for a typical event. She stated that with the unknowns from COVID regulations, they will hold off on signing contracts and ensure that there is a clause that protects the City if regulations prohibit the event. 3. OTHER Councilmember Musgrove stated that cases are well put together with the Council developing their questions off that information. She asked if it is necessary for staff to summarize the information in the case during the meeting as it takes away from the time for discussion. She stated that would allow the Council to move through topics more quickly and hold fewer special meetings. She clarified that this suggestion would only apply to worksessions. Councilmember Specht commented that there are times when things are being discussed multiple times when the background is perhaps redundant or drawn out. He stated that perhaps there is a goal for length of staff presentations. City Administrator Ulrich stated that staff could assume that the Council has read the entire case. He noted that while that works in a worksession presentation, staff would like to provide some background for the public that may be watching. Councilmember Howell agreed that perhaps staff presentations could be shortened in order to allow for additional Council discussion. Councilmember Woestehoff agreed. He noted that he attempts to provide his questions to staff ahead of time so that answers can be prepared by staff prior to the meeting. He noted that as liaisons or members of other groups, Councilmembers often hear the same presentation multiple times. It was confirmed that this would apply to worksessions. 4. ADJOURNMENT The Work Session of the City Council was adjourned at 7: 5 8 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Kurtis G.
