It has a population of 67,000 citizens who enjoy a high quality of life on and near <br />the Mississippi River which forms the western boundary of the city. <br />Springsted has been retained by the City of Coon Rapids to conduct a year -long <br />process which includes community visioning and the development of a long- <br />term strategic plan. The project is underway currently and is scheduled to run <br />from January 2005 through December 2005. The visioning process includes <br />significant public involvement by stakeholders throughout the community as <br />well as many organizations outside the corporate limits who have a financial or <br />operational investment in the community. <br />The strategic plan will include the creation of long -range goals for the <br />community based upon the vision established in phase one. This will lead to the <br />development of integrated capital and operating plans for the City of Coon <br />Rapids. Springsted will be guiding the efforts to establish the goals, and work <br />with the City Council, executive team and staff to integrate financial and <br />operational plans to implement the strategic plan, consistent with the <br />community vision. <br />Time period: January 2005 — present <br />Contact: Mr. Gerald Splinter, City Manager <br />763.755.2880 <br />Lino Lakes, Minnesota.
