unds View City Council <br />~gular Meeting <br />-Page Five <br />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.

He stated that when there is not enough money one should quit <br />spending. <br />Councilmember Blanchard asked if Mounds View did not support this enactment <br />of the 1/2 cent tax would this just apply to Mounds View or would it affect <br />the whole county?
