Agenda Item #
l
Memorandum
To: Board of Directors
From: Peter Holzmeister
Date: November 24, 2004
Subject: Board workshop
Why this matter is before the board: This matter involves scheduling a board
workshop with facilitator Bob Rauch to discuss details of the board's role and
work plan for the next year.
History: Our first experience with Bob Rauch occurred several years ago when
he spent a Saturday with the directors and me and led us through a workshop to
help identify high priority tasks for the District to address and to distinguish
between the things the board needed to do from the things the general manager
needed to do. That meeting was approximately ten years ago. At our recent
strategic plan meeting in October, issues were again raised suggesting it would
be beneficial to repeat that earlier workshop.
New information: I have placed a call to Bob to find out what dates he has
available in January or February. When he calls back, I will ask him to give more
information on the content of the workshop so you will have a better idea of what
it entails. Meanwhile, I would like to know if the directors are still interested in
scheduling such a workshop. We will have more information on Wednesday
evening to have a good discussion of this matter.
Recommendation: I have no recommendation at this time. More information
will follow.
