Authorization REQUEST: Requesting the City Commission set dates for the upcoming Community Visioning and Commission Goal Setting meetings with Marilyn Crotty. PURPOSE: This agenda item is needed for the City Commission to consider and set dates for the upcoming Community Visioning and Commission Goal Setting meetings with Marilyn Crotty. CONSIDERATIONS: On December 8, 2008, the Commission approved a proposal from Marilyn Crotty with the Florida Institute of Government at the University of Central Florida (FIG-UCF) for a strategic planning program for the City. This program includes and requires two meetings as follows: 1. A Community Visioning Forum 2. A Commission Goal Setting Workshop Accordingly, staff and Mrs. Crotty are requesting that the Commission consider and set dates for these meetings. Mrs. Crotty is available for each of the meetings on the following dates: PART 1: Community Visionins Forum This meeting will take approximately 3 hours and should be held in the evening or on a Saturday to afford maximum opportunity for community attendance. Marilyn is available (only) on the following evenings and Saturdays in the months of January and February: Saturday, January 31, 2009 (9 - 12 noon) Saturday, February 21, 2009 (9 - 12 noon) Consent Informational Public Hearin Re ular X Evenings (6-9 PM): o January 13, 14, 20, 21, 27, 28 o February 2, 3, 4, 5, 11, 16, 17, 18, 19, 25, 26 PART 2: Commission Goal Setting Workshop This meeting will take approximately 6 hours and may be held in the daytime (subject to your availability) or on a Saturday. An evening meeting is also possible, but would need to start early as Marilyn would prefer to have one 6 hour session and to NOT break this up into two sessions. The Commission Meeting should take place on a date AFTER the Community Meeting (preferably at least 2 weeks after). Again, Marilyn is available (only) on the following evenings and Saturdays in the months of January and February: • Saturday, January 31, 2009 (9AM - 4PM) • Saturday, February 21, 2009 (9AM - 4PM) • Evenings: o January 13, 14, 20, 21, 27, 28 o February 2, 3, 4, 5, 11, ] 6, 17, 18, 19, 25, 26 Additionally, Marilyn is available in the daytime on the following dates in January and February: January 13, 19, 21, 26, 27, 28 February 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17, 18, 20, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS: Also, we need to think about the best way(s) to market this event to the Community in order to maximize citizen participation. I would suggest we give some thought to having the meetings in February, rather than January, as this will afford us more time to effectively market the meeting to the community. We also need to think about a venue for these meetings, e.g., Commission Chambers, Senior Center, etc. RECOMMENDATION: The City Manager recommends the City Commission do the following: 1. Set a date for the Community Visioning Forum. 2. Set a date for the Commission Goal Setting Workshop. 3. Set locations for each of the meetings. 4. Approve a marketing strategy for the Community Visioning meeting. ATTACHMENTS: • Calendar of Available dates in January and February.
