Title
Council Effectiveness Workshop
Body
SUMMARY:
The Institute of Government (IOG) at the University of South Florida has submitted a proposal to facilitate a Council Effectiveness Workshop for the City of Clearwater.
The proposal has been drafted by Marilyn Crotty, Executive Director of the IOG at the University of Central Florida, based on her extensive career working with state and local agencies, special districts and non-profits in Florida. There are five Florida IOG university locations with a mission to provide organizational development and training to equip local officials with tools to better serve their communities.
The Clearwater proposal is drafted to focus the workshop on the communication, decision-making and performance of highly effective Councils. If approved, Ms. Crotty will work with the City to finalize the agenda and schedule. Ms. Crotty has offered a number of possible dates in December and January for the proposed 4-hour training series.
If Council agrees to proceed, Ms. Crotty will work with IOG at USF (West Florida's office) to finalize the proposal scope and cost for the workshop. The cost is expected to be within the City Manager's purchasing authority.
