City Administrator Hagen reviewed the Staff report concerning Councilmember articles in the <br />newsletters. <br /> <br />Councilmember Buscher noted that if a Councilmember did not want to write their own article for <br />the newsletter, then the Council could agree on a topic that they all want to talk about and write an <br />article collectively in place of the single Councilmember. <br /> <br />Councilmember Stewart asked how far in advance they would know it is their turn in the rotation <br />to write the upcoming article. <br /> <br />City Administrator Hagen asked if they care what order they put everyone in the rotation. <br /> <br />Mayor Heineman suggested a random assignment and will let Councilmembers know ahead of <br />time so they can prepare their article. <br /> <br />Councilmember Peters asked if they need to discuss with the other Councilmembers what topic <br />they want to discuss in their article so that everyone is not talking about the same issue. <br /> <br />Mayor Heineman said everyone can talk about whatever topic they would like as long as it falls <br />within the parameters. <br /> <br />The consensus of the Council was to allow each Councilmember to write an article once a year for <br />the newsletter. <br /> <br />2.03: Coffee with a Councilmember <br /> <br />City Administrator Hagen reviewed the Staff report in regard to Coffee with a Councilmember <br />events. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht asked if they still do Coffee with a Cop events. <br /> <br />City Administrator Hagen said yes. <br /> <br />Mayor Heineman added that having these events does not mean that a Councilmember cannot still <br />do this themselves on their own time. <br /> <br />Councilmember Buscher shared that she and Councilmember Riley had discussed allowing two <br />Councilmembers at a time at these events with one Staff member. <br /> <br />City Administrator Hagen asked if these events would be held at City Hall. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley noted if they do it somewhere in the community, then there would be a cost <br />associated with it. <br /> <br />Mayor Heineman suggested holding these events on a quarterly basis and allowing <br />Councilmembers to sign up to attend. <br />City Council Work Session / April 8, 2025 <br />Page 7 of 8 <br /> <br />
