City Council Agenda
Memo to: Manteca City Council
From: Tim Ogden, City Manager
Date: September 17, 2019
Subject: Council - Staff Neutral Facilitator
title
Consider authorizing staff to procure a neutral facilitator to work with Council and staff
body
Background:
The City Council provided an expert facilitator when the city manager was first hired in August 2017, who met with the Council, City Manager, and Department Heads to ensure all understood each other’s expectations and to ensure smooth operations in the Council-Manager form of government.
If the Council directs, staff could return with a proposal to help facilitate a session or two between the City Council and the City Manager and staff to continue moving the city’s business forward in a productive and efficient manner. Some of the effort could help move the city toward development of a Strategic Plan with adopted Council vision, goals and action items for staff to implement.
Fiscal Impact:
The estimate cost would be less than $10,000.
