He noted that the general <br />purpose of the workshop is to define more clearly the focused leadership direction and performance <br />priorities of the city council; and to address significant issues on the direction for the city and how the <br />city council and staff will work together in addressing present and future issues. <br />The council and staff reviewed goals and management action plans from 2005 -2006, identifying <br />accomplishments and items to be carried forward. Goals and objectives for action in 2006 -2007 were <br />then identified including but not limited to: complete Town Center project; address needed local <br />regional transportation improvements; update city charter to reflect current and future city needs; <br />complete community visioning process; update city comprehensive plan and adopt a redevelopment <br />and revitalization plan; and recreation improvements. The group identified broad based goals as <br />follows: meet infrastructure needs to comply with Comprehensive Plan requirements; diversification <br />and expansion/enhancement of the city's tax base; and establishment of appropriate revenue and <br />allocation policy. <br />City council performance and council/staff partnership was discussed, using information from a pre - <br />workshop survey that had been completed by all workshop participants. <br />At approximately 3:00 p.m. staff members (excluding City Administrator Heitke and City Clerk <br />Bartell) were excused and the Council discussed their performance including council meetings and <br />work sessions, rules and procedures, minutes and the desire to establish meeting guidelines. <br />The workshop was recessed at 5:00 p.m. <br />24 e- <br />
