From this retreat, a series of strategic goals were considered and action <br />steps identified in support of each goal. Because there was insufficient time at the retreat to <br />review the individual action steps identified by the subgroups, we are presenting the draft <br />goals for your review and preliminary approval. These same goals and actions steps, as <br />amended, will be presented to the public at the City’s Town Hall Meeting scheduled at the <br />Community Center on Saturday, April 19, from 9:00 am to noon. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />The following are the identified 2008-2009 Strategic goals listed in order of priority. <br /> <br />1. Implement Street and Utility Improvement Program <br />2. County Road 10 Redevelopment and Revitalization <br />3. Improve Public Communications and Enhance Participation in City Programs and Activities <br />4. Assess and Mitigate Increasing Traffic through Community <br />5. Enhance the City’s Revenue Streams <br />6. Address Issues Related to the Community Center <br />7. Address Noise Abatement Issues along Highway 10 <br />8. Address and Respond to Foreclosure Issues <br /> <br />The first five goals listed above were deemed to be the highest priority for the City. Other <br />goals were discussed and considered, however only those above were determined to be <br />priority strategic goals. Also reviewed at the retreat for purposes of reaffirmation were the <br />City’s previously adopted Vision and Mission Statements and the Values Statement. These <br />and the strategic goals are attached to this report for Council review. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Please review and discuss the attached 2008-2009 Strategic Goals and Action Plan as well <br />as the previously adopted Vision, Mission and Values Statements and let staff know if any <br />changes are necessary. The agreed goals and action plan and reaffirmed statements will be <br />presented to the residents at the Town Hall meeting on April 19th. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />________________________ <br />James Ericson <br />City Clerk – Administrator
