Memorandum
DATE: March 28, 2012
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Anne Norris, City Manager
SUBJECT: City Tour and Annual Commisison/Volunteer Appreciation Event
In the past, the Council has conducted tours for the Council, advisory commissioners
and other interested people (bus and virtual) to review current and proposed projects
throughout the community. It has been several years since this has occurred. If the
Council wishes to have a tour this year, we should discuss da tes.
Each year, the Council hosts an event to thank advisory commissioners and volunteers
with the city for their time and efforts. Last fall, the event was a happy hour event at the
Community Center. The Council should consider timing for this event and whether it
wishes to repeat the happy hour concept this year.
