OSAC keeps council retreat planning and city manager review on its agenda

Staff told OSAC that retreat planning remains a standing item and that the city manager annual work plan includes scheduled check-ins in May, September and January, with the formal annual performance review centered near May/June. Ben said the deputy mayor role remains a pending item that staff will return on, and that certain items have already moved to full council for adoption or pilot projects.

Members said retaining retreat planning on OSAC’s agenda had been helpful in past cycles. Erickson and others asked staff to identify jurisdictional paths—where items originate and which committee handles them—so OSAC can better direct follow-up work. Ben agreed to provide the committee with last year’s retreat plan and to follow up with Jacques and the city manager’s office on next steps.
