During a two-day retreat last week, Jackson Town councilors began to set priorities for the coming fiscal year, learned about personality styles and how to communicate and interact effectively, and heard from department heads, most of whom said that operations were at full capacity with very little capability to take on additional work.
The bulk of Day 1 was spent working with Sam Haas of Emergenetics, contracted by the town to compile personality profiles of each of the five town councilors as well as Town Manager Larry Pardee. Susan Scarlata, the Town of Jacksonâs community engagement specialist, said Emergenetics had been working with the council and staff since before Thanksgiving.
