COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 1993 YEAR-END REPORT PAGE FIVE FIVE YEAR GOAL PROGRAM - COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT INVOLVEMENT The Community Development Department was also involved in the implementation of the Five Year Goal Program adopted by the City Council following their goal setting session in April of 1993 . _ - - Specifically, the Department was involved in the following Goals: Goal No. 1 - Develop and Implement a "Community-Driven Visionincf Process" to Actively Involve Community Stakeholders, of all Ages, in the City's Long Range Planning Process. Both the City Planner and the Code Enforcement Officer took part in the Focus 2000 Project by attending all public forums and serving as Staff liaisons to the Growth, Development and Business Project Team. Staff provided the Team members with requested information, agendas and minutes as well as conducting requested surveys and presenting oral reports. Goal No. 3 - Rehabilitate City Hallas a Functional, Attractive Visual Focus for the Entire Community. Departmental Staff directed the construction of the new City Hall entryway in June/July of 1993 . The project was a result of a Community Development Block Grant acquired in 1992 . The entryway was the first step in providing the City with a building which will eventually be in total compliance with ADA standards for accessibility. Goal No. 5 - Explore Mechanisms to Provide for the Rehabilitation of Existing Housing Stock. In 1993, Staff contacted City's in the Metro area to get ideas and suggestions on the possible implementation of a comprehensive Housing Stock inventory program. The results of this survey were brought the Council and following discussion, the decision was made to add a Housing Intern position to the 1994 budget. It is the hope of the Council and Staff that the position will eventually be somewhat self-supporting through fees for inspection and point-of- sale services.
