November 12 Adjourned Meeting:
The November 12 agenda item was reviewed.
• The order of the annual performance evaluations was discussed. It will be:

November 19 Regular Meeting and Electric Utility Enterprise Board Meeting:
The November 19 agenda items were reviewed.
• Two options for a possible executive session to discuss compensation for the Chief Judge, City Attorney

o Call a special meeting to enable this to be scheduled at 5:00 p.m., or
o Consider the item prior to Discussion Items as part of the regular meeting.
It has been requested that the executive session occur as early in the evening as possible. If a special
meeting is desired, the Mayor will announce that he plans to do this as part of tonight’s meeting.
• Mason Place Affordable Housing project was noted as a good news item. It is the City’s second permanent

terms.
6-Month Planning Calendar:

o Staff Report on Lincoln Middle School Safe Routes to School improvements was discussed in light
of the tragedy that just occurred at Lopez Elementary. This puts into perspective the need and
importance of this work. Staff should be available to talk about school zone safety and related
efforts. Utilizing a flag system was briefly discussed. There is a SAR circulating that will provide
more information on this
• February 25
o The entire evening is dedicated to the 2020 Strategic Plan. This is intended to be a facilitated

federal-level policy efforts and goal-setting at the Colorado Municipal League Conference and
National League of Cities Summer committee meetings, as well as to have time off for the July 4
Holiday.
Deputy City Manager Mihelich:

suggested. Staff will follow up with the Church to plan further.

• Noted that it might be helpful to have a brief executive session to discuss legal issues related to open
meetings. November 26 was noted as a possible date. Staff is asked to move forward and place this on
