City of New Brighton Leadership Strategy Session | January 2015 <br /> 6 <br /> There was some interest in understanding the Wednesday morning water cooler <br />talk- but ultimately it was determined that this wasn’t something to be gathered- <br />similarly it was decided that a rating process by Commissioners and staff was not <br />necessary or advisable <br /> Everyone agreed that meeting civility had improved and that the KPI no longer <br />needed to be on the list <br /> After a long discussion regarding the Council-staff communication issue- it was <br />determined that this is an important issue and that a rating scale should be <br />developed and that quarterly meetings should continue as a way of checking-in and <br />maintaining the relationships <br /> <br />Group decision: <br />The group decided that the three of the four current KPI’s should continue for 2015: <br /> Council Meeting Civility <br /> Priorities Addressed <br /> Meeting effectiveness <br /> Council-staff Communication <br /> <br /> <br />Community Engagement <br />Discussion: <br /> The Council acknowledged that this priority fell largely within their purview and that <br />they wished to be clearer on the outcomes <br /> Regarding the KPI’s – the Parks and Recreation Director indicated that Fix 311 is the <br />only regular input option measured by the City <br /> Comment was made that the 311 metrics should stay, but perhaps be expanded <br /> Wide-ranging discussion regarding the Town Hall and community meetings. <br /> It was suggested that the Council could meet offsite three or four times a year at <br />places like Applewood Pointe and Windsor Green, and make use of mobile <br />equipment to record and televise. <br /> Suggestions were made to change the name and format of Town Hall-rename Open <br />House <br /> Many ideas about doing things differently: groups leading the pledge of allegiance; <br />promote seasonal jobs at Irondale; multi-lingual on web site; tours for city residents; <br />joint meeting with school district; Increase participation by younger families <br /> Concern was expressed about Stockyard Days and the lack of specificity for 2015 <br /> Discussion regarding advisory commission recruitment and whether the target was <br />realistic. It was decided that the target should stay, but the achievement of the <br />target was not as important as the effort to recruit and the availability of at least one <br />candidate for an opening <br /> <br />Group decision: <br />The group decided that the three current KPI’s should continue for 2015, with some <br />adjustments: <br /> Stakeholder input- update with possible adjusted metrics <br /> Citizen Participation <br /> Advisory Commission Participation
