Advance Responses Purpose: Prior to the January 15-16, 2025, Strategic Planning sessions, participants were asked to provide input regarding four questions that will provide a starting point for discussion and creation of outcomes. Responses from all participants are listed below each question. This document will serve as a resource for preparation and participation in the planning sessions. Q1: What challenge has the City encountered in recent years that it has done a particularly good job of addressing? • Change of leadership at the top level • Being persistent with the legal challenges related to the water issues AND participating in community growth events • Water supply and contamination • PFAS water treatment • Improving the level of civility - the atmosphere at City meetings is so much better now. And current City staff (many are recent hires) seem to be living up to these improved standards of public service. • I think that the City has done a good job of dealing with staff turnover and retention. When I first started working with the City, there was a revolving door with staff coming and going. Now they seem to stick around longer. They also seem happier. I think that has to do with the city council getting along better which results in a lot less dysfunction for everyone involved (including me). • Past high turnover. • Increasing staffing within city departments to meet the demands of current and future city growth. • Growing the City government as the city grows. • Residential growth • maintaining its sewer and water system, improving pavement conditions, adding parks -amenities and replacing playgrounds, vehicle/equipment replacement • Responding to development opportiunities and delivering supporting infrastructure • Bringing consistency and stability in city lead infrastructure projects. • Addition of new infrastructure • Incremental improvements to staff and financial management to address fast-growing community. • Managed growth • Water, growth, opposition to growth, image. • Services and recourses as population continues to grow. • I don't feel I've been here long enough to provide feedback on this question.
