18. REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Agenda Section: OE 94-1328Ws STAFF REPORT Report Number: L' CP. October 3, 1994 Report Date: 9-28-94 AGENDA SESSION DATE DISPOSITION Item Description: Discussion Regarding 1995 Council/Staff Strategic Planning Session Administrator's Review/Recommendation: - No comments to supplement this report - Comments attached. Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) SUMMARY; Tim Cruikshank and I have met with several consultants who specialize in strategic planning for public sector groups. We would like to have the top two consultants attend the November Work Session so that the Council can interview them to choose which one they would like to facilitate the 1995 Council/Staff Strategic Planning Session. It is important to hold the Strategic Planning Session in January in order to establish the 1995 Goal Plan and prepare for its subsequent publication in Mound View Matters. Therefore, the Council may wish to consider setting a date in .mid-late January for the 1995 Strategic Planning Session. Discussions after last year's Session centered on the belief that the Session could be only a one day session. Preparation for the one day session would mean that in early January, staff and Advisory Commissions would have completed their proposed 1995 Work Plans and submit them to Council for review prior to the Strategic Planning Session. The one day Session could include discussions on the following: 1. Review of action steps of the 1994 Goal Plan/FOCUS 2000 2 . Update of 5 year Goal Plan/FOCUS 2000 Implementation Plan 3 . Establishment of 1995 Goal Plan and 1996 Budget Priorities 4 . Review of Staff and Commission Work Plans and Council direction regarding Work Plans Samantha Ord o, City Admin' strator R.ECOMMENDATIONt Staff is seeking Council direction in this matter.
