Mounds View City Council Page Five <br /> Regular Meeting June 10, 1991 <br /> Mayor Linke stated that it was a very positive session and that <br /> it allowed the time for the Council to pull together as a <br /> Council. <br /> City Attorney Karney clarified to the residents that City <br /> business was not conducted at the Goalsetting Session. <br /> City Administrator Orduno stated that most companies do research <br /> and development. The goalsetting is a form of strategic <br /> planning. It is necessary to leave the place of business and all <br /> the day-to-day interruptions to allow for visioning. These <br /> goalsetting sessions should be viewed as an investment in the <br /> future. <br /> Councilmember Rickaby stated that citizens are an important member of <br /> this team and should be included. <br /> Councilmember Quick stated that any citizen could have run for <br /> election and been part of the team. Goalsetting is a positive process <br /> and the citizens will be the winners; everyone will benefit. The <br /> Council has left the City twice before to do goalsetting and the <br /> community as a whole has benefitted. <br /> 4 ayes 1 nay Motion Carried <br /> 6 .
