Mayor Piercy believed the council needed be able to demonstrate it was making progress on its goals. She <br />suggested there were interrelationships among the goals that meant staff could work on them simultaneously. <br />She cited the construction of a new city hall as a means of forwarding the neighborhood initiative. <br /> <br />Mr. Pap6 suggested that the council could put off items like the River Avenue improvements to the following <br />year to give staff more time to work on the council's goals. <br /> <br />City Manager Taylor summarized the discussion, saying the council wanted the plans faster, wanted them <br />segmented into phases, and wanted to schedule additional work sessions to get the plans done. He would <br />return with a proposal that addressed the council's comments. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy recognized Mr. Poling, who raised a process issue related to the use of the three-minute timer. <br />He recalled that the council agreed not to use the timer's buzzer to signify when their time to speak was up <br />for a trial period. He said that most councilors were paying attention to the time, but others were not. He <br />suggested it was time to bring back the buzzer. Councilors briefly discussed the issue without resolution. <br />Mr. Poling wanted to discuss the issue again prior to the September process session. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Dennis M.
