On February 27 and 28, the Shoreline City Council engaged in their annual Strategic Planning Workshop to review the past year’s accomplishments, confirm their Council Goals, and to discuss policy issues. The workshop is an important opportunity for the Council to dig deeply into issues for the coming year.
The workshop is also an opportunity for the Council to continue to build strong working relationships to more effectively govern the City.
This year, the Council also worked together on a team building exercise by participating in Blue Ribbon Cooking‘s Cooking for a Cause program.
The Council worked together to create six large meals to share with members of the Shoreline community.
The meals were donated to POPY’s Café at the Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Briarcrest. Every Wednesday evening, Prince of Peace teams up with the YMCA and members of the community to offer a free meal. Everyone is welcome. Learn more about Popy’s Café here.

The council votes in a block to rubber stamp what the staff wants, why do they need to spend taxpayer money on this so-called team building exercise?
The City Council is not a "team"! It is an elected body. Each Councilmember is accountable to their constituents to vote in their best interests, not only what staff wants! This is an appalling waste of time during the Council retreat! It make the Council look like a clown car! Especially the. mayor! What a joke!
Noblesse oblige? To fund this photo op and the rest of the workshop, the Council made a "slight increase" to the City's 2015 budget last fall. To put this gesture of generosity in proper perspective, check out my blog post: Shoreline City Council Beats a Hasty Retreat from $3000 Extravagant Workshop on Feb 27-28.

What "accomplishments" are they reviewing? The only thing they have accomplished is to aggravate a majority of Shoreline citizens by threatening to rezone 25% of the city.
Are they really this out-of-touch?

Wait.....I am sure we pay for the city to have it's very own public relations advisor. Did they NOT advise you that the optics and timing of this is terrible. Did you not listen?
