Meeting Dates/Agenda Planning
We have a few "unusual" meeting/agenda issues likely over the
next 60 days. I want to share those with you so you can work on your
own schedules and/or let me know if these will not work for you.
1. Monday. September 18 - At this point, there are no regular agenda
items scheduled, and several of us will be out of town. Mike
Morgan will be here as Acting City Manager. However, rather than
canceling the meeting, in working with the Mayor, we have two
specific things that may be best scheduled for the Commission as
part of a "Study Session only" that day, beginning at 3:30 p.m.
(a) Rescheduled CommissionlTask Force Meeting. From 3:30
p.m. to 4: 15 p.m., Mike will provide status reports and answer
questions regarding our improvement efforts.
(b) From 4:15 p.m. to approximately 6:00 p.m., we suggest the
Commission participate in viewing a video and holding some
discussion as a portion of our City's efforts in the National
League of Cities "Undoing Racism" initiative. We will have
more on that initiative at this Monday's (September 11) Study
Session. Let's discuss then if this plan will work.
2. Monday. October 9 - Commission meeting canceled due to
conflict with League of Kansas Municipalities meeting in Topeka.
Three Commissioners and some staff are attending.

3. Monday. October 30 - This is a 5th Monday. However, I would like
to request you consider a special Study Session at either 3:00
p.m. or 4:00 p.m. that day. We are working on a significant
potential economic development project which will require some
City Commission action in mid-November. The company involved
is interested in conducting a facility tour and briefing of the
Commission prior to that action. I suggested Monday, October
30th rather than trying to fit this elsewhere into everyone's
schedule. I know some folks schedule travel or other personal
business around the "5th Monday" weekends. It's pretty important
that we get a good turnout for this tour/briefing. Please let me
know if this plan and tentative schedule of a "Special Study
Session" will not work for you.
Please give me a call if you have any questions or concerns or
would like to discuss these meeting planning items further.
Thanks. See you Monday.
