MANAGEMENT PARTNERS <br /> I N C O R P O R A T E D <br /> February 8, 2005 <br /> Dennis M. Taylor, City Manager <br /> City of Eugene <br /> 777 Pearl Street, Room 105 <br /> Eugene, Oregon 97401-2793 <br /> Dear Mr. Taylor: <br /> I look forward to working with the Mayor and Council at the retreat on February 25 and <br /> 26. I have spoken with seven of the nine members of the governing body and have <br /> compiled a list of process related issues for the Council to consider in advance of the <br /> retreat. The list includes the start and end times, role of the Mayor, role of the Executive <br /> staff and the decision making model to use when prioritizing Council Goals/Strategies. <br /> Once I have your feedback on these items I will prepare a draft agenda. <br /> I hope your process session is productive, and if you have any questions about the <br /> information on this list, please feel free to give me a call. <br /> Regards, <br /> Julia D. Novak <br /> Regional Vice President <br /> 1730 Madison Road www.managementpartners.com 513 861 5400 <br /> Cincinnati, OH 45206 Fax 861 3480 <br /> <br /> _ <br /> <br />
