3. “Blue Sky” Vision Decisions : Management Team was presented with an outline of the ideas
brought forth during the August 29, 2001 “Blue Sky” Vision Exercise. Tuesday afternoons
for the month of October were set aside for “quite time” or time that directors and managers
will focus on their departments. October will serve as a trial month and the “quite time” idea
will be assess later. No decisions were made concerning any other ideas arising from the
“Blue Sky” Vision Exercise. However, Tom Brymer, City Manager, identified customer
service as an area that should receive some attention from the Management Team.
