<br />Item No: 7H <br />Meeting Date: March 14, 2016 <br />Type of Business: Council Business <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: James Ericson, City Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8536, Approving the City Council's Goals and <br />Priorities for 2016 <br />Introduction: <br /> <br />The City Council held its annual retreat with management staff on February 29, 2016, at <br />the Mounds View Community Center. The Council reviewed the previously adopted 2015 <br />goals and priorities and received updates on progress associated with each. At the March <br />work session, the City Council reviewed the draft set of goals and suggested they be <br />organized by department, but otherwise felt they accurately reflected what they had <br />decided upon. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />The City Council determined that many of the goals and priorities from 2015 remained just <br />as important in 2016, thus most of the priorities carried over with some minor tweaking to <br />their wording. The one priority from 2015 which was not carried forward related to <br />business retention and recruitment efforts, which is the core job responsibility of the <br />Business Development Coordinator. New goals included developing a vision for City Hall <br />Park (which expanded on last year’s priority regarding a Splash Pad), developing a <br />program to recognize outstanding employee achievement, pursuing the naming of County <br />Road 10, and, developing a streets and utilities improvement program to pick up where the <br />last program left off. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Resolution 8536 has been prepared for Council consideration, which approves the City <br />Council’s goals and priorities for 2016 as previously reviewed. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />________________________ <br />James Ericson <br />City Administrator <br /> <br />Attachments: <br /> <br />1.
