Mr. Carlson discussed the City's efforts related to energy conservation, campaign finance reform, <br />the provision of City information, citizen issue tracking, downtown office and public safety space <br />planning, multi-year financial planning, and operations, maintenance, and preservation costs <br />associated with facilities. <br /> <br />Mr. Meisner emphasized his interest in complaint resolution as opposed to complaint tracking, and <br />characterized progress on the work plan item as "invisible." He was joined in his concern by Mr. <br />Kelly. Mr. Johnson promised a status report soon, saying much had been done on the issue. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly raised the issue of campaign finance reform and how to proceed from this point, given <br />the recommendations of the Citizen Charter Review Committee. Mr. Carlson briefly reviewed the <br />recommendations of the Citizen Charter Review Committee as they related to the topic. Mr. Kelly <br />wanted the ordinances before the council soon so they had an impact on the next election. <br /> <br />Ms. Nathanson said that with regard to what went well, it seemed she saw more interdepartmental <br />collaboration than she had in the past. Department heads attended council meetings, which helped. <br />The organization changed the way it worked, and she extended her thanks to the manager and <br />staff. <br /> <br />Ms. Nathanson asked if the City had the right work plan items under the goal regarding the PSCC. <br />The PSCC would follow its work plan, not the City's work plan. <br /> <br />Ms. Nathanson said that when she looked at the goals and associated work activities, and at the <br />staff resources, she thought staff was small and the council was asking it to do more than it could <br />do in a year. It did not surprise her that emerging issues had pushed some of the work activities <br />out. Staff had been immediately responsive to the council's high profile issues. Mr. Pap~ <br />concurred. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly said that the council focused on what had not gone well, but it was clear that the work <br />plan was largely going well, and Ms. Nathanson's points were well-taken. He said that staff <br />needed to tell the council when it needed resources. <br /> <br />Referring to the secondary list, Mr. Kelly requested a report on the progress of those items. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 8 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />James R. Johnson <br />City Manager <br /> <br /> MINUTES--Eugene City Council November 28, 2001 Page 8 <br /> Goals Process Session <br /> <br /> <br />
