<br /> <br /> 2016 City Council Priorities <br /> <br />On February 29, 2016, the Mounds View City Council and members of the management team held a <br />planning and goal-setting retreat at the Mounds View Community Center. The City of Mounds View <br />provides a variety of core and essential services to its residents, property owners and business owners. <br />Each of these service delivery areas is an acknowledged and supported priority and each supports the <br />City’s Mission, Vision and Values statements. Recognizing that such core and essential services are <br />ongoing priorities, the City Council has chosen to focus particular attention this year on the following <br />identified goals, organized by City department: <br /> <br />ADMINISTRATION: <br />• Develop a program to recognize outstanding employee achievement <br />• Pursue the naming of County Road 10 <br />• Ensure Mounds View’s interests are protected and promoted relating to the Rice Creek Commons <br />redevelopment <br /> <br />COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: <br />• Encourage development and promote programs and opportunities to improve neighborhoods and <br />eliminate blight <br />• Develop the vision associated with Crossroad Pointe <br /> <br />FINANCE: <br />• Implement technology enhancements to expand access and availability to residents, businesses and <br />City departments; provide for greater security in parks and City buildings <br /> <br />POLICE: <br />• Promote positive partnerships and outreach efforts between the Mounds View Police Department <br />and the community it serves <br /> <br />PUBLIC WORKS: <br />• Focus on corridor maintenance, aesthetics, landscaping and appearance; pursue linkages to <br />promote regional trailway connectivity <br />• Explore renewable energy and energy efficiency improvements; pursue Green-Step City <br />designation Level 2 <br />• Finalize and approve the design, size, location, and financing plan for the new Public Works <br />building <br />• Develop a vision for City Hall Park <br />• Develop and approve a sustainable streets and utilities maintenance and reconstruction program <br /> <br />In addition to the above, the City Council believes the County Road 10 corridor to be a key component in <br />the City’s redevelopment vision. A vibrant, easily accessible and aesthetically pleasing commercial <br />corridor will be Mounds View’s foundation upon which our other amenities and community assets will be <br />strengthened and reinforced. <br /> <br />(Approved March 14, 2016, Resolution 8536) <br /> <br />EXHIBIT 1.
