COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT FRAMEWORK DISCUSSION
Mayor Pro Tem/Vice President Butler asked Dr. Edwards whether he needed additional feedback on
this item.
City Manager Reggie Edwards stated everyone spoke about the engagement framework at tonight's
Study Session and it will be discussed again at the City Council retreat.
Mayor Pro Tem/Vice President Butler stated there was a chat comment around accountability to the
framework and how that will happen. She asked staff to make note of that comment so it can be further
discussed.
This item was presented and also discussed at the July 12, 2021 Study Session.
Mayor Pro Tem/Vice President Butler asked whether this item can be rescheduled since
Councilmember/Commissioner Graves had to leave and Mayor/President Elliott is not feeling well.
Dr. Edwards stated this item is time -sensitive and an item staff wanted to bring before the City
Council/EDA; however, it can be rescheduled to the July 26, 2021, Work Session.
Community Development Director Meg Beekman stated this item was on the last Worlc Session
agenda but not considered and the consultant brought their team to the last meeting and again this
07/12/21 -1-
evening to share their presentation. But, at the same time, there is value in having Mayor/President
Elliott and Councilmember/Commissioner Graves present for those conversations. She stated staff
would like to discuss this item in short order.
Mayor Pro Tem/Vice President Butler noted there are out 20 minutes left before the cutoff at 10:00
p.m., which may not allow enough time for as robust a discussion as the City Council/EDA would
like. She suggested this item be considered as the first item at the July 26, 2021, Work Session.
Dr. Edwards assured the consultants that this item will be scheduled as the first item on the next Worlc
Session agenda.
The majority consensus of the City Council/EDA was to reschedule this item to the July 26, 2021,
Work Session.
