City Administrator Nevinski noted that there are items that could be brought back to a future Work
Session for additional discussion, if there is not time at the retreat.
There was consensus of the Council that they did not want to publish times for the various
retreat agenda items, in case the day ends up going not according to the plan because
they do not want to mislead the public.
Councilmember Maddy asked if there were any items that staff would like the Council to discuss
at the retreat that had not been included already.
City Administrator Nevinski noted that he thinks most of those types of things will end up being
discussed during the budget and CIP topics.
