TO: Communications Task Force
FROM: Michael J. McCauley,
City Manager
DATE: June 4, 1996

SUBJECT: Communications Task Force Final Report and Recommendations
In reviewing your minutes of ?Ylav 21, 1996, I would like to take this opportunity to address several
questions raised at your last meeting. The Communications Task Force, as established by the City
Council, was designed to review several communications issues and issue a report to the City
Council. The Communications Task Force was intended to be a work group that would address the
issues given to it by the Citv Council and then disband. From reviewing the materials relating to the
creation of the Communications Task Force, it would seem appropriate for the Communications
Task Force to compile its final report and recommendations for the City Council so that the City
Council could review those recommendations and take such continuing actions as the City Council
saw fit.
The Communications Coordinator position has not been refilled since the essential job duties have
• been incorporated into the normal assignments of several full-time employees in the administration
department. Media relations. while an-
expectation of all department heads, has been incorporated
into Ms. Gohman's responsibility as Assistant City Manager. Press releases are coordinated or
created by Ms. Gohman.
In reviewing vour minutes, I note an ongoing interest to deal with specific tasks and support. As you
are aware, the Discover the Center committee has embarked upon a new project of becoming' an
incorporated non-profit organization. I also note the assistance that the Communications Task Force
has offered to the Discover the Center group. This might be an avenue for Communications Task
Force members to continue to pursue with the Discover the Center corporation after the
Communications Task Force is disbanded.
We certainly appreciate the work of the Communications Task Force and their efforts since the
creation of the task force. I know that the Council is anxious to receive the final report from the
Communications Task Force. As we prepare to plan for 1997, it would be helpful to receive the
Communications Task Force's final report early this summer so that its recommendations can be
considered in the course of this planning.
I note in your minutes a suggestion of meeting with me to go over these issues. I would be happy
to meet with you if that would be of assistance. I would have attended your meeting this evening,
but other commitments preclude that.
