1997 ANNUAL REVIEW OF VISION 20/20 ACHIEVEMENTS <br />Compiled by the Vision 20/20 Citizens Advisory Group <br />January 20, 1998 <br />EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW <br />The 20/20 Vision project, initiated by the City Council, brought together Lino Lakes residents to <br />create a community vision. The Citizens Advisory Group (CAG) was established to monitor <br />implementation of the recommendations which developed from that project. Throughout the <br />course of 1997, the CAG met with city staff from the departments of finance, public safety, <br />economic development, engineering, planning, and city administration. Positive results in <br />achieving parts of the 20/20 Vision have taken place. We would like to acknowledge those <br />successes summarily, as well as point out recommendations for continuing attention in 1998. <br />There must be ongoing efforts and vigilant support of the 20/20 Vision by the entire community, <br />city staff, and Council to further reach the vision set forth in 1995. We would like to thank all <br />citizens and city staff who have contributed toward our 20/20 Vision and particularly the <br />department heads and Dan Tesch, who spent long evenings with us. <br />Each of the five individual summaries contained herein was initially written by CAG members <br />particularly attuned to that aspect of our city. Their comments were then reviewed by the entire <br />CAG to ensure agreement and alignment with the overall intent of the 20/20 Vision. This <br />document represents our collaborated consensus regarding progress toward the vision. <br />The CAG feels communication is one of the main keys to progressing toward the 20/20 Vision, <br />and this is a recurring theme in all the ensuing summaries. Good changes have been noted over the <br />past year with the quantity of communication channels continuing to increase. Enhancement of <br />the quality of communication should be the ongoing focus, with citizens' education derived from <br />engaging discussions and interactive contributions. <br />Present CAG members include: <br />Lyle Bye Donna Carlson Paul Montain <br />Tim Rehbine Chris LeMire Laura Wolf <br />Mark Lindblad J.P.
