3 <br /> <br />Goals Yet To Be Accomplished: <br />2016 Goals – <br /> <br />1. Develop an integrated communications plan focusing on an update website and social <br />media usage to improve communications with our resident. – Social Media policy <br />adopted and website review still on-going. <br />2. Implement a business retention/expansion survey program – Questionnaire not yet <br />finalized. Will be implemented in 1st Quarter of 2017. Fire Marshal has been <br />having discussions with businesses. Lapham Hickey Steel’s potential expansion <br />came about through this process. However, they have now put that project on hold. <br />3. Evaluate options for improvements to our organized collection system to be considered <br />during contract renewal – Negotiations are nearing completion with the haulers. <br />Delays occurred due to personnel changes with two of the haulers. It is expected <br />that a five-year contract will be presented at the February 22nd meeting. <br />4. Investigate process for regionalization of fire department services/equipment – <br />Determined Fire Department was best entity to initiate. This will be a long-term <br />undertaking. <br />5. Conduct a community survey – Not a pressing immediate need not pressing – will be <br />considered in the future – Continued. <br />Other Goals To Be Accomplished: <br /> <br /> Fire Department Long-Term Strategic Plan (On-Going) <br /> Determine whether or not to use Video Surveillance for Crime Prevention – <br />Sheriff’s Department needs to lead this. They have implemented a system whereby <br />business can choose to have their video used by Sheriff’s Department on a voluntary <br />basis. This does not help our surveillance issues for areas like Ryan Industrial Park. <br />We may have to do this one on our own. <br /> Shared Multi-Family Housing Patrol Position (Vadnais Heights not ready) <br /> Funding for Rice Street/694 Bridge Project ($7 million obtained for bridge. Seeking <br />$23.5 million in 2017 legislature.) <br /> Complete Pedestrian/Bike Trail System – Should be revisited by Commission in <br />2017 to re-prioritize. Remaining areas have challenges in terms of land assembly <br />due to unwilling sellers or the need for future development. We did complete the <br />sidewalk connection on Centerville Road between Eli and Allen Avenue plus added <br />paved shoulders from Allen to Edgerton.
