up with ORI building, the mayor was informed but not the councilors. I was disappointed when I brought this to the manager's attention and his response was to say "what could you have done with the information if you received it?" Such a question is beside the point. (4)After Council had a great strategic planning retreat in February, it took a lot of push-back from Council to get draft action plans brought to us before the fall. I was surprised that it seemed to be news to the manager that we would like to get started with Council discussion of our strategic issues sooner than six months after our retreat. (5)There's an understandably delicate line between the manager providing Council with his professional advice (which I very much want) and seeming to join the debate as if he were the ninth councilor. On several occasions this past year, I was dismayed when I felt the manager had dramatically crossed that line. One example that comes to mind was the Budget Committee discussion of the central core police patrol motions.
