SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The City of McCall is currently without a comprehensive collection of governance principles, policies,
procedures and standards of conduct for the Council / Manager form of governance. This lack has the
potential to lead to vague, ambiguous and confusing understanding of roles, responsibilities and decision
making for doing the City’s business. Many Cities are in this situation, and progressive Cities have found
ways to gain clarity, establish written City Governance Policies, Procedures and Guidelines. These have
proven invaluable not only for current Councils and Managers, but as a means of smoothly integrating
new Council members and City Managers.
Stan McNutt, a native of Payette, and currently retired resident of St. Maries, has visited McCall, met with
the City Manager, and proposes roughly a 28 hour engagement leading to the building of a strong Council
/ Manager working relationship. A brief synopsis of his background, work product, and methodology are
attached.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Council appointment of a 2-person Council Committee to explore this opportunity and propose a
recommendation at the March 14 Council meeting.
