3-year Strategy


Meetings

Council meeting are open to the public and are generally held every 4th Wednesday of the month at 1:00 PM. The location of the meeting rotates from Donnelly, McCall to Cascade and starting again unless other locations (like Yellow Pine, Tamarack) are added ad-hoc.

Meeting ground-rules

  1. Start on time, end on time
  2. Limit side conversations
  3. Different opinions are welcome
  4. Disagree here and now, not afterwards
  5. Challenge ideas or relevance, not people
  6. Silence = agreement
  7. Follow through on action plans

When a decision is necessary and reasonable effort does not yield a consensus, majority decisions are acceptable as long as the minority opinion(s) can “live with” the majority position.
