Mayor Pro Tem Francis:
Requested a summary of suggested dates for the upcoming 2022 Summer schedule be provided to
inform the discussion on January 4.
Mayor Arndt:
Noted the importance of moving forward with action to set civility expectations for speakers at City
Council meetings. In addition, noted the importance of establishing a Code of Conduct for members of
Boards and Commissions and for City Council.
Noted that a constituent suggested creating a designated place of quiet reflection within the City. No
specifics were mentioned, only the need for a quiet sanctuary seems to be needed more so now than in
the past. It was also noted that the Parks & Recreation Master Plan would be the place to develop this
component and may already include some related discussion.
Meeting adjourned at 8:35 a.m.
