St. Anthony 2006 Strategic Planning Session 3 To: Saint Anthony City Council From: Jim Prosser, Ehlers & Associates Date: January 30, 2006 Subject: Strategic Planning Report Please find attached the 2006 Strategic Plan for St. Anthony. This plan was prepared based on the January 12-13, 2006 Council and Staff retreat. The session materials have been reproduced for this final report. Several key implementation issues include the following: 1. The plan has been prepared based on general Council direction. The implementation program should be reviewed by the City Council and adopted with any required changes. 2. A special effort should be made to schedule specific time and dates for discussion of high priority issues identified within this report. 3. A key component of this year’s Strategic Planning session was to document processes for decision-making and public participation. This documentation is included in this report. Clearly, the processes are guidelines and will not be used for most decisions but rather reserved for more complex public policy issues. 4. The Council should select the goals to be discussed at quarterly meetings. The Feedback Connection Checklist should be used to track and verify progress on the strategic plan. 5. Quarterly updates to the plan should be prepared in writing to report on progress towards goals. An emphasis should be placed on identifying problems with implementation for information or action purposes. 6. It is expected that “course corrections” in the strategic plan will be necessary, and should be made as needed. This may mean that issues will be presented outside of the scheduled quarterly updates. 7. It is recommended that the 2005 goals be communicated to residents and businesses using your website and newsletter. MEMO
