(CITY/FIRE) RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council review and discuss City Council 2022 and 2023 goals, legislative matters and engage in team building discussions. BACKGROUND: Every year, for several decades, the Rancho Cucamonga City Council has met one or more times a year for teambuilding. In general, team building can improve communication, strengthen working relationship and enlighten team members on improved methods of cooperation that help the team achieve its goals. During prior meetings the City Council has developed a Vision, Mission and Core Values including ethics statements and governing expectations. The City Council also previously completed the Core Strengths, Strengths Deployment Inventory and reviewed the implications of the team dynamics and group and individual strengths and communication styles. That exercise will be repeated this year as we have several new team members. Finally, each year the City Council receives an update on the prior calendar year goals and drafts new goals for the ensuing calendar year. ANALYSIS: This year's teambuilding will take place on January 30, 2023 at the Lewis Family Playhouse. As in past years, the meeting will be facilitated. It is anticipated that it may take more than one meeting to cover all the relevant topics. This year's discussion points include: - Discussion of prior City Council Team Building Agreements - Discussion of City and District interests - Discussion of team and individual dynamics - Review of 2022 Goals and Updates - Discussion of 2023 Goals - Discussion of 2023 legislative matters and relationships - Discussion of City Council meeting process, procedures and timelines - Discussion of Development Process Review - SDI Team communication strengths and strengths overdone - Miscellaneous matters Page 2 There are no other written materials; a PowerPoint will be utilized during the teambuilding session to guide and focus the discussion.

We recognize that a Council election district is not a political subdivision; the Mayor and each Council Member is obligated by the Municipal Code and the oath they take to represent the entire City and all its citizens. To that end, regardless of how we are each elected or where we reside in Rancho Cucamonga, we are committed to making best decisions with the interests of the entire community in mind, hearing from residents across the City, and giving equal consideration to issues and people inside and outside our districts. 3. As an important part of this commitment, we agree to have a healthy debate and discussion regarding issues before us, and once a decision is made by the City Council, we will all work to support that decision, regardless of whether or not we initially supported that decision, recognizing that we are all desirous of good outcomes for the City and its stakeholders and that disunity brings divisiveness. 4. Each Councilmember will engage fully with regard to each City issue before us, regardless of which district or districts might be most directly impacted by the issue, and provide assistance to any and all stakeholders, without regard to which District they might reside, but with respect and thoughtfulness to the Councilmembers and residents of that District. 5. We agree that City resources, both financial and personnel, will be allocated based on the City's overall needs, and not simply divided by Districts; we will not work individually outside of the collective governance process to resolve these issues, but refer them to and discuss them with the City Manager Resolution No. 2020-024- Page 1 of 3 for appropriate follow-up. We will not use City resources to conduct meetings or similar activities for individual self-promotion only in our District, as that would serve to divide and not unite our community. 6. We will seek to raise issues and concerns with the Mayor and City Manager so that our team is informed and no one is surprised by an issue. When we have questions or need information, we will work through the City Manager or our Department Directors rather than consulting other staff. 7. We agree to represent the City at meetings as events in pairs or larger groups, whether we are invited to or are hosting the meeting or event. This is to reinforce our functioning as a team, rather than attending meetings or events alone. 8. We are committed to superior customer service and excellence in governance, while paying attention to all neighborhoods and being mindful of our Districts. We will continue to move from "I" to "we", working together for the greater good. Resolution No. 2020-024- Page 2 of 3 PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 151h day of April, 2020. L.
