CITY OF SEBASTOPOL CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM REPORT FOR MEETING OF: February 17, 2026
================================================================================= To: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
From: Interim City Manager Mary Gourley
Responsible Department: City Management
Subject: Discussion and Consideration of 2026–2027 City Council Goals and Priorities – Meeting Date, Facilitator, and Process
================================================================================= RECOMMENDATION:

The item asks the Council to decide on:
• Whether to hire an external facilitator for a dedicated goal-setting workshop. • Handle the process internally without a facilitator.
• And to set a specific date for the goals/priorities discussion session.

This is to guide policy, budgeting (especially for FY 2026-27), and operations for the coming period.

PROCESS OF AGENDA ITEM:

1. Presentation of the item by the requestor or responsible staff

2. Council questions and discussion

3. Public comment

4. Council deliberation and action
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Each year, the City Council identifies strategic goals and priorities to guide City policy, budget allocations, and long-term planning. A clear process ensures the session is productive and allows Councilmembers to collaboratively determine priorities that align with the City’s mission, ongoing projects, and strategic objectives.

BACKGROUND:

In April 2025, the Sebastopol City Council conducted a goal-setting workshop that established priorities of fiscal sustainability, community vitality, public safety, infrastructure, economic development, and organizational performance. The Council has received quarterly updates as to the status of the goals and priorities.

DISCUSSION:

The City of Sebastopol has made significant progress in achieving the 2025 Council Goals, and we are committed to building on these successes in the coming year. These accomplishments reflect the City’s dedication to making Sebastopol a thriving, sustainable, and inclusive community.

In preparation of the upcoming year’s goals, as well as potential inclusion into the FY 26 27 City budget, City staff issued requests for scope of work seeing qualified facilitators. Two proposals were received:

Proposal 1:
• Scope of Work: Design and facilitation of an in-person workshop to fulfill the objectives of the bid request.
• Cost: Not to exceed $9,125, inclusive of overnight travel expenses.

Proposal 2:
• Scope of Work: Facilitation of the goal-setting session on an hourly basis. • Rate: $275/hour
• Estimated Hours: 16 hours
• Total Estimated Cost: $4,400 (billed only for hours worked; billed monthly, 30-day net) Council is asked to review the proposals submitted and provide direction regarding facilitator selection or directing staff to prepare actions and priorities based on the current six goals. The Six Current Goals are as follows:

1. COMMUNITY VITALITY: Enhance Sebastopol as a great place to live that values community health and well-being. Preserve Sebastopol’s unique character.

2. PUBLIC SAFETY: Strengthen the public’s safety and improve the quality of life. Includes supporting our first responders (police, fire, public works), responding to emergencies, protecting people, property, and businesses, and engaging in emergency preparedness community outreach, public education and prevention activities.

3. INFRASTRUCTURE: Maintaining High Quality Infrastructure, Facilities and Services includes repairing/replacing outdated city facilities, improving streets, stormwater and wastewater infrastructure.

4. HIGH PERFORMANCE ORGANIZATION

5. LONG TERM FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY: Achieving Greater Fiscal Resilience and Long Term Fiscal Sustainability

6. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
If there is no consensus to move forward on facilitation services; City staff would recommend the following process:

Creation of a standardized Council Priority Submission Form to propose new goals or work items; process for submission of recommended goals and priorities from Council. City Council could also authorize use of submission form for community member’s to use as input prior to the Goals and Priority Setting Meeting.

A recommended process is as follows:
• Each Councilmember may submit proposed goals or priorities in writing using the Council Priority Submission Form (draft form attached)
• Submissions are due by the date established by the City Manager • Submissions must include:
o Priority or Goals title
o Explanation of goals or priority
o Desired outcome
o Anticipated timeframe (short, mid, long-term)
o Notes on budget or resource impact (if known)
The City Manager shall compile all submissions into a Consolidated Goals & Priorities Document. • The document will include:
o Submitted goals
o Summary of common themes
o Staff recommendations for feasibility, timing, and resource requirements o City Manager/Staff recommended goals and priorities
The Consolidated Goals & Priorities Document will be presented to the Council at a public meeting for discussion. After adoption, goals will be presented to the budget committee for recommendation into the proposed FY City Budget.

STAFF ANALYSIS: Staff has reviewed both proposals and based upon review and reference checks, both facilitators would provide facilitation services for a goals and priority setting workshop. It should be noted that funding for a facilitator has not been budgeted in the FY 25 26 budget and would require a budget amendment. If the consensus is to move forward with a facilitator, staff will return with a budget amendment at the next City Council Meeting.

If there is no consensus for a facilitator, staff would recommend the following:
• Creation of submission form for Council use
• Date established for return of forms
• Consolidation of goals and priorities for goals and priorities setting workshop BUDGET COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: Both committee members are not recommending the use of a facilitator at this time because the budget development process is already under way. Onboarding a facilitator would take approximately two months, making the timing impractical.

CITY COUNCIL GOALS / PRIORITIES / GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY Goal 4: High-Performance Organization
Restoring public trust through transparent and inclusive processes Improving public communications and community engagement PUBLIC COMMENT: As of the preparation of this staff report, no public comments have been received. Any written public comments received after publication will be provided to the City Council as supplemental materials prior to or at the meeting. Members of the public may also provide oral comments during the public comment portion of the agenda item.

PUBLIC NOTICE: This item was noticed in accordance with the Ralph M. Brown Act and was made available for public viewing and review at least 72 hours prior to the scheduled meeting.

FISCAL IMPACT: Costs will depend on the facilitator selected. Staff time will also be required for preparation and support. Selection of either facilitator would require a budget amendment.

Executive Summary
I am pleased to submit this proposal for the City of Sebastopol's March 2026 Goals and Priorities Session.

Building on your successful April 2025 goal-setting workshop, this focused half-day session will help the council confirm and prioritize goals for the year ahead while respecting the city's budget constraints and limited staff capacity.

Under Interim City Manager Mary Gourley's leadership, Sebastopol has made meaningful progress on 2025 priorities. This workshop provides an opportunity to review that progress, refine priorities for the year ahead, and ensure council direction aligns with organizational capacity as you enter the 2026-27 budget planning season.

This proposal incorporates insights from the 2025 workshop outcomes and addresses the city's current priorities: long-term fiscal sustainability, community vitality, public safety, infrastructure, economic development, and organizational high performance.

In partnership,

Project Background
In April 2025, the Sebastopol City Council participated in a comprehensive goal-setting workshop that established priorities of fiscal sustainability, community vitality, public safety, infrastructure, economic development, and organizational performance. The session balanced recognition of recent wins—including regional partnerships, voter-approved revenue measures, and key hires—with honest acknowledgment of persistent challenges around budget constraints, aging infrastructure, and limited staff capacity for new initiatives.

The workshop reinforced that maintaining strong council-staff relationships and realistic expectations about what's achievable would be essential to success. Since July 2025, Interim City Manager Mary Gourley has led steady implementation, with over one-third of the council's goals completed and another half in progress. The city continues managing financial pressures while delivering on strategic commitments.

March 2026 Session Purpose: This half-day workshop will review progress, confirm or adjust priorities for the remaining goal period, and ensure council direction aligns with organizational capacity as the city enters budget season.

A focused session with a concise summary will ensure the council remains aligned on priorities as they enter budget planning season.

Approach
I understand the unique leadership challenges public sector leaders face and the constraints that affect effective council dynamics. High-functioning teams invest early in clarifying roles, setting expectations, gaining alignment around values, and building interpersonal connections that foster trust and effective communication. Annual goals grounded in clear strategy create momentum over time.

My engagement approach centers on:
● Equitable participation – Ensuring all voices are heard and valued in the process ● Brave spaces – Encouraging courageous conversations and constructive challenge ● Personalized experience – Creating meaningful, productive sessions that honor both the people and the work
● Trust and connection – Building the interpersonal foundation that enables collaboration over time
Incorporating Prior-Year Goals
This workshop builds directly on the 2025 goal-setting work by:
● Reviewing progress on established priorities with honest assessment of accomplishments and challenges
● Identifying which goals remain relevant and which need adjustment based on changed circumstances or resource realities
● Carrying forward momentum on partially completed initiatives rather than clean slate ● Using lessons learned from 2025 implementation to refine 2026 priorities The half-day format focuses on confirmation and refinement rather than wholesale reinvention, respecting the work already done while allowing space for necessary course corrections.

Workshop Design Philosophy
Effective workshops require strong pre-work. I optimize the time before we gather to set expectations, gather input, and share background materials so our in-person time maximizes interpersonal connection, relationship-building, and shared understanding.

Like the host of a great dinner party, I guide the team toward desired outcomes while remaining mindful of energy levels and the need for movement or reflection. Participants are co-hosts in creating the experience—through clarifying expectations in advance and honoring different communication and learning styles.

The workshop will comply with the Ralph M. Brown Act while creating space for meaningful connection and strategic alignment.

Workshop logistics elements to be determined in collaboration with city staff:
location and setting, refreshments, technology support, materials, accessibility accommodations, and logistics coordination. Workshop procurement (food, facility rental, etc.) is excluded from this proposal.

Mary C. Gourley
Interim City Manager
City of Sebastopol
Dear Mary,
Thank you for your interest in working with Praxis Human Systems. I am very glad to have the opportunity to provide a proposal in support of your upcoming City of Sebastopol city council retreat. Below is a simple proposal outlining potential work, meant to capture elements you described in your request for proposals. If there are other elements desired from the retreat, such as team development, or addressing other issues, this proposal will change. This is meant to be a collaborative process, in any case, and we can evolve the scope as needed, once we are working together.

Objectives

1. Collaborate with the city council retreat planners to design retreat agenda

2. Facilitation of planning session to help council decide on goals and priorities for coming year
Proposed Process
I understand from your request, that you are looking for a brief timeframe of a few hours, for focused work directed on council planning for the upcoming year. Ideally, preparation can be supported by pre-work, that the council can do ahead of the retreat date. This will enable us to use the limited retreat hours to the greatest effect.

1. Finalize expectations – Additional conversation with key council members to plan, finalize desired outcomes and expectations, timing, and logistics for the project (~2 hours)

2. Session design and preparation– Design of retreat, including prework for council members, and preparation of needed materials. (3-4 hrs.)

3. Facilitate retreat– Delivery of half day planning session (including set up and break down as needed). You will be responsible for logistical preparations such as location rental, catering, and scheduling attendees. (6 hours)

4. Documentation –Transcribe retreat notes and create simple, brief document outlining decisions made (4 hours)

5. Closure and evaluation – a follow up opportunity to reflect on our work and determine the lessons learned and opportunities for the future

Consultation fees: Regular billing rate for local city and county agencies is $275/hour.

Total estimated hours 16 hours, for a fee of $4400. Billing is hourly and I do not charge for hours not worked. Fees will be billed at end of month; due 30 days net.

Experience
I have worked with agencies throughout the County of Sonoma for over ten years, including Ag & Open Space, Sonoma County Regional Parks, The Board of Supervisors, Department of Agriculture, Weights and Measures, Sheriff’s Department, Department of Emergency Management, the HR Department and many more. I also have worked for several years in Solano County and Napa County systems, City of Cloverdale City Council, and City of Santa Rosa (Police department, HR, City Attorney).

Work has included large scale strategic planning, team and management development workshops, coaching, and hundreds of team retreats for planning, development, skill building and problem solving of all kinds.

Project Philosophy
My approach centers around the partnership between client and consultant. This collaboration is supported by a deep respect for the inspiration and ownership that is created when the client’s knowledge, expertise, and experience are combined with the strategies, methodologies, and knowledge we bring. The result inevitably is a strong commitment to the project’s successful implementation.

I believe in fixing systems, not blaming people. Each of us comes to work every day wanting to contribute, to be challenged, and to be successful. We will focus our attention on systems, processes, and patterns, not on individual performers.

Each organization is unique. Therefore, it is my goal to continuously tailor and tune our approach to meet the needs of your company.

Not Legal Advice
I am not licensed to provide legal advice. If any of the services provided involve legal issues, you are encouraged to consult legal counsel.

Liability
I rely on information provided by your organization to provides the best advice and direction under the circumstances. I am not responsible for fines, penalties, legal fees, or other damages resulting from advice given or services rendered. You agree to take full responsibility for implementing any advice or direction given by me. You agree to indemnify and defend my involvement in matters related to your company if legal issues are raised during the course of our work.
502 E Cotati Ave. #745Cotati, CA 94931/310-279-3312/[email protected] www.praxishumansystems.com
Assumptions

1. You will establish a point person I can work directly with including communicating the agenda and expectations with your group.

2. Point person and I will maintain routine and open communications regarding the project.

3. We will be open with each other (Client and Consultant) at every stage and help each other by providing immediate, constructive feedback on the quality of product, partnership, and process.

4. We will respect each other’s confidentiality and proprietary materials and approaches.

5. We will manage reasonable accommodation for conflicts, unforeseen events, and other competing priorities.

6. Work may be a combination of in person and zoom meetings (for interviews), with an in-person retreat.

7. You will be responsible for logistical arrangements for your retreat.

8. Reports and documentation, beyond the interview report and notes from the retreat, are not part of this scope.

I’m looking forward to possibly working with you and the City of Sebastopol City Council to create a valuable and productive retreat experience for furthering your group’s aims. Please let me know any questions.

Best regards,
Talia Eisen
