Proposed City Administrator position.

No action taken.  
- Discuss possible edits to the city administrator information paper and one-sheet  
information sheet created by Daniel Foth.  
Edits to both the city administrator information paper and city administrator one-sheet  
documents were discussed and editing suggestions for both were made. Daniel Foth,  
who attended the meeting in person, took notes on the requested edits and plans to  
supply working group members with final edited versions of both documents before the  
next meeting.  
- Determine everything that is needed before beginning public engagement sessions.  
Things that are needed prior to beginning public engagement include the final version  
of the information paper, a well-designed one-sheet document, a short slide  
presentation, information about the city administrator position on the City website  
including a frequently asked questions (FAQ) section, and a survey to gather  
community feedback and additional questions. Times and locations for in-person and  
virtual information sessions need to be established and noticed as meetings of the  
City Administrator Working Group.  
- Create a timeline for the working group.  
It was decided that having public engagement sessions should take place during  
September and October. This would be after the summer vacation period and when  
higher education institutions are back in session. All the print materials, slide  
presentation, website, FAQ, survey, scheduling meeting spaces, and promotion of the  
public engagement sessions would need to be ready prior to that. The City  
Administrator Working Group would report its findings from the survey and public  
engagement sessions back to the city council before the resolution returns during the  
February 2026 city council cycle.  
- Establish agenda items for the next meeting.  
Review edited documents from Daniel Foth for working group approval.  
The meeting was adjourned at 1:31 p.m.
