Agenda Item Title:
Title
Council Member Houseman proposing the City Council "Community Connectors" program
Body
Presenter: Council Member Marci Houseman
Body
Description/Background:
With Council Member support, the City Council Office will reboot and re-brand the Community Coordinators program to create a core group of engaged citizens to serve as additional conduits of communication from and to the City Council Members. Please review the attached program and outreach plan.
Fiscal Impact:
Primary expenses will be due to staff time. After the initial organization of the program, it is expected that the Community Connectors Program will not be a major consumer of staff time. Marginal costs are difficult to estimate. Based on the Council Citizen Academy, we suggest an annual budget of $5,000.
Further action to be taken:
Please review the timeline on p. 4 of the attached program and outreach plan.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation
Motion to approve the Community Connectors program concept and to direct Council Staff to work with Council Member Houseman to produce a finalized program for Council review and implementation.
