Ms. Ortiz wondered how much time other city councils spent on running their cities. She asked if the <br />council had ever re-evaluated how much time they spent on the City’s business. She averred that the Eugene <br />public deserved as much background information as possible. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor recalled that work sessions used to be two hours long and agendas never included action items. <br />Regarding Powerpoint presentations, she commented that they meant the council was reading on a screen <br />what it would be reading in the packets. She added that she also felt hampered by the three-minute time <br />limit. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy surmised that some of these issues deserved more discussion. She thanked the councilors for <br />the good conversation and asked them to give feedback on how they would like to continue it. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy adjourned the Council Process Session at 1:32 p.m. <br /> <br />The following topics were deferred for lack of time: <br /> <br /> City Council Meeting Minutes (Detailed vs. Summary vs. Video) <br />? <br /> New Tools/Technology for Agenda Materials, Meeting Records and Minutes, Goals and Issues <br />? <br />Tracking <br /> Mayor/City Council Email Distribution List <br />? <br /> Inclusion of Ordinances showing Legislative/Grammatical Changes in Agenda Packets <br />? <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Jon Ruiz, <br />City Manager <br /> <br />(Recorded by Ruth Atcherson) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—City Council September 23, 2009 Page 9 <br />
