DATE: September 23, 1997
SUBJECT: NEW AGENDA REPORT FORMAT
DEPARTMENT: City Manager
There have been several Council comments over the past few months regarding the format and
content of the City Council Meeting Agenda Reports. In order to address this issue, staff has
embarked upon an attempt to further improve the current system by making.the following
changes:
Two new sections have been added:
"Alternative Actions" - This section will assist the Council in identifying possible
alternatives other than the action recommended in the report. Of course, Council will
always have the option to choose another action different than the recommended or
listed alternatives.
"Fiscal Impact" - This section will assist the Council in identifying the direct financial
impact of the recommended action.
The sections have been re -ordered, moving the Recommended Action to the beginning
of the report to allow the Council to understand the recommendation before receiving the
background information.
These improvements in the Agenda Report format will greatly enhance report preparation and
communication of critical information to the City Council.
Adopt the revised Agenda Report format and approve its utilization beginning with the October
15, 1997 City Council meeting.
