At the Jordan City Council tonight, Mike Shaw questioned whether the city should spend $3,500 on a consultant to facilitate a second annual council retreat. 

Last year, the council spent two days outside of the city hall talking about strategic planning, collective goals, city growth, unity among councilmembers, and other issues facing the city during a two-day session. This sort of retreat is common among elected city officials who want to informally get on the same page with city staff and their collegues on a particular board or council.

The Jordan School Board spent some time at its July 9 meeting discussing the district’s strategic plan and its goals.
