The public is invited to observe the meeting, but public input and comment will not be taken.
The annual retreat is the chance for council members to discuss how they work together, set their rules for their meetings and work out challenges to communication and operating procedures.
There has been friction between council members and at times things have been heated. The retreat is also a chance to work out conflicts so the council can accomplish its work.
Here’s the agenda for the meeting which starts at 5:30 PM Wednesday in the City Hall Chambers.
