r <br />i <br />TO; <br />FROM: <br />DATE: <br />Mayor Peterson and Council Members <br />Ron Moorse, City Administrator <br />April 7,2004 <br />y <br />SUBJECT: Council Policy Regarding Communications Between Individual Council Members and <br />Developer Representatives. <br />When the Council is in the process of reviewing a development application, it is not uncommon for <br />the developer to want to contact individual Council members to promote the application. <br />Depending on the status of the application, these contacts can put individual council members in a <br />difficult position. The council member needs to balance the need to be accessible with the need to <br />ensure the communication does not undermine the public application review process. It can be <br />beneficial for a city council to set out a policy that provides a guide for council members regarding <br />communications with developers.
