It will be a process by which every <br /> man, women and child who lives or works in this community will share in the process <br /> of identifying the current and future issues, concerns, problems and determining the <br /> best possible strategies to address them. <br /> It will be an Opportunity to help shape the future direction of the City through <br /> establishing a "Vision" of Mounds View in the future, its "Mission" - what is the City's <br /> purpose, its "Goals"-what are the important issues to be addressed and the "Strategies" <br /> - how best to accomplish the goals. <br /> This goal will be accomplished by the following action steps: <br /> * Community-wide Public Forums to be conducted in July, 1993 to seek out input <br /> and participation from the community's stakeholders in identifying the important <br /> current and future issues the City needs to address. <br /> * Provide funding for the implementation of a community-wide publicity campaign <br /> to inform stakeholders of and encourage participation in the "Visioning" process. <br /> * Identify and incorporate the changing perception and reality of our internal and <br /> external community stakeholders through surveys about the vision of the future <br /> of the City. <br /> * Establish new opportunities for future community leaders through Issue Project <br /> Teams comprised of the City's stakeholders and charged by the Council to <br /> address the issues identified at the Community Forums and determine solutions <br /> and proposed courses of action for the City. <br /> * Create an awareness among all stakeholders of potential costs and future <br /> financial obligations associated with identified issues. <br /> PRELIMINARY DRAFT - DATED: MARCH 25, 1993 <br />
