To the Honorable, the City Council:
I am hereby recommending that, as one means of allowing the City Manager, effective July 1, 2013, to commence his successful efforts, that all items on the current Awaiting Report list be "placed on file."
As the City Council is aware, I have held weekly staff meetings for the past 20 years. The Awaiting Report list has always been on the agenda of these meetings, encouraging Department Heads to make their best efforts to provide responses. However, despite all good intentions, many of those items are either not feasible, or would require significant investment of staff time to respond to what may be futile efforts.
I strongly urge you to allow City Manager Richard C. Rossi to commence his work without the current Awaiting Report list.
