DEC1696M Page 1 <br /> WETHEADS SPECIAL MEETING <br /> Evaluation & Action Item Summary <br /> December 16, 1996 <br /> Lamb Cottage <br /> SPECIAL MEETING Evaluation <br /> (The following is a summary of comments from five of the special meeting participants). <br /> Overall, the retreat was beneficial and would be good to do again, annually or semi - annually. <br /> Could do as a field trip with discussion items tied to individual sites. Maybe all wetheads should <br /> attend. <br /> Responses about structure for the day varied between satisfactory and wanted more structure. <br /> Concern about combining a celebration with an assessment. Maybe should have provided a <br /> clearer purpose of the meeting beforehand. <br /> Agenda comments ranged from morning agenda too crowded, should have spent more on the <br /> partnership role and relationship, and should have spent more time on work planning and <br /> prioritizing. Some agenda items redundant or misplaced. <br /> Action Items <br /> 1. Internal Wethead Communication: <br /> Structure a time to talk outside of monthly meeting. <br /> Look for ways to meet on -site (including MIPs meetings). <br /> Improve sharing information and breaking down responsibilities for sharing information (error <br /> on the side of sending out information). <br /> Maintain coordination of e-mail communications, including LCOG /City e-mail distribution lists. <br /> List rules of communication. Clarify communication responsibilities and improve <br /> understanding of authority in each group. <br /> Take photos, etc. of sites in dry, wet seasons and during flooding. <br /> Prioritize what funds are for, what are essential projects, then develop longer wish list. <br /> Improve dedicated field resources as a part of a shift from planning to implementation. <br />
