Dear Dr. Garcia
Thank you for agreeing to facilitate a goal -setting workshop with the Seal Beach City
Council. The workshop has been confirmed for July 15, 2004, beginning at 1:00 pm and
continuing until the mission is completed. The workshop will be held in the Seal Beach
City Council Chambers located at 211 Eighth Street.
As we discussed, the City Council will submit thew individual goals to me by July 7's
and, if possible, they will be in priority order. I will transmit those individual goals by
July 8`" so that you have time to review them prior to the July 15i° meeting.
I have arranged to have the workshop in the City Council Chambers with refreshments
and dinner provided. Hopefully, this will keep the workshop moving forward without
interruptions. In addition, I will have easels, paper, tape and markers for your use during
the workshop. If you need any other supplies, please let me know prior to July 15t°.
Attached is a memorandum sent to the City Council regarding the goal -setting workshop
and a list of the names and telephone numbers of the City Council Members. Since your
last workshop with the City Council, threernembers have changed and, two of the three
have only recently been appointed to the Council.
As you requested, this letter should serve as confirmation that the fee of $1,350 is
acceptable for the workshop. Upon completion of the workshop please, submit a bill for
your services and you will be promptly paid.
If you need any other information, please don't hesitate to call me at (562) 431-2527.

MEMORANDUM
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: John B. Bahotsl
City Manager
Date: June 30, 2004
Subject: City Council Goal -Setting Workshop
The City Council Goal Setting Workshop will be held in the City Council Chambers on
Thursday, July 15, 2004, beginning at 1:00 pm, and continuing until the session is
completed. Refreshments will be served during the session, and dinner will be provided
at 5:00 pm. This Workshop will be a noticed public meeting, and a public comment
section provided, but will not be televised.
Ordinarily a goal -setting workshop involves a two-step process consisting of a one-on-
one interview with Dr. Garcia followed by the goal -setting workshop. However, due to
cost related issues, only the goal -setting workshop will take place. Due to that constraint,
Dr. Garcia is requesting that each Council Member develop at least three goals (more if
possible) prior to the July 15th meeting, prioritizing them if possible. Please submit your
goals to me by July 7th before 5:00 p.m. so that Dr. Garcia can review them prior to the
start of the Workshop.
Dr. Richard Garcia of RJA Management Services was selected to facilitate the Workshop
because of his previous work with the City Council on Goal Setting efforts, and has an
understanding of Seal Beach. The cost of the Workshop is $1,350 and is budgeted within
the FY 2004/2005 budget.
If you have any questions concerning this workshop, please call me.
