COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 11, 2005 APPROVED 358 Councilmember Carlson suggested on page 5, best practices, it should read "Council retreat" rather 359 than "Council and Staff retreat," for the first one. City Administrator Heitke asked if she was 360 suggesting a change in the objective to eliminate Staff. 361 362 Mayor Bergeson stated he does not think the goal precludes any arrangement. He noted there could 363 be numerous configurations and the objective would cover all of these. 364 365 Councilmember Dahl stated she would like a retreat for Council only and requested the wording be 366 changed. City Administrator Heitke stated some language relates to the budget setting process and a 367 retreat should occur prior to this process. 368 369 Councilmember Dahl moved to adopt Resolution No. 05 -94, Adopting 2005 -2006 Proposed Council 370 High - Priority Goals, Objectives, and Actions with the exception of changing the wording to "Council 371 will establish a date for a retreat before the budget financing process." 372 373 Motion failed for lack of a second. 374 375 Councilmember Reinert moved to adopt Resolution No. 05 -94, Adopting 2005 -2006 Proposed 376 Council High - Priority Goals, Objectives, and Actions. Councilmember Stoltz seconded the motion. 377 378 Mayor Bergeson stated this is an ambitious set of goals and the City would make a good faith effort. 379 He noted that at the work session, a disclaimer had been given stating they would try to follow the 380 goals where feasible. However, some may be unfeasible due to a conflict with another ordinance, etc. 381 or if they are not able to provide resources through the budget process. 382 383 Councilmember Carlson stated she does not believe there are too many goals, but agreed that 384 sometimes a goal may run into conflict with another goal or plan in existence. 385 386 Councilmember Stoltz stated this is a very aggressive set of goals. They are not perfect, but bring 387 accountability to the Staff. 388 389 Motion carried unanimously. 390 391 Resolution No. 05 -94 can be found in the City Clerk's office. 392 393 B.
