City Council Retreat
Your Council retreat will be Saturday, January 22, 2005. If you choose, you can also
meet Sunday half day, or Friday late afternoon for 2 -3 hours. It will be hard to justify a
city -paid dinner unless you're extending the Saturday meeting into Saturday night.
The topics you have suggested this far might benefit from having staff available, though
in the past you've been able to use information papers prepared ahead of time to base
your discussions on. At this point, I'm planning for the Council to meet, with the mayor
joining you for the morning session and you meeting by yourselves in the afternoon.
Discussion topics:
Utility rate increases water, sewer, surface water
City costs for Starfire
Mandatory garbage
Property maintenance code
Reactive or proactive enforcement
Homes? Apartments?
Traffic Calming Projects
AWC Budget Workshop
Prioritization of Unfunded Projects
Council group processes /strategies facilitator
Conference Facilities
You can meet in a room as simple as City Hall's Conference Room #3 to a hotel or
conference center. The rooms listed below are available as of Tuesday, November
30 If you choose a site Monday night, they will hopefully still be open. I have not
reserved any at this time. Again, the date for the retreat is January 22
Dumas Bay Conference Center 3200 Dash Point Road Federal Way
Daily charge $210; $35 /hour partial days
Tukwila Community Center 12424 42 Ave. S.
You've been there before: Conference Rooms A and B are open at this time. The right
price (free).
Washington Mutual Cedarbrook Leadership Lodge 18525 36 Ave. S. Sea Tac
$75/ person /day includes a continental breakfast and a lunch. Perhaps $750 with food
included.
Gordy's 13500 Interurban Ave S.
We would be in the conference rooms that are larger than we need. As of November
30, a large group needs the room by 4:30, but they are trying to get it a week earlier,
thereby clearing that date. I'll know by Monday's meeting time if it's available all day.
Marriott Courtyard 400 Andover Park West
The cost of a conference room is $250, and they can provide either a full or continental
breakfast, and lunch if you choose (for an additional cost).
