City Council Regular Meeting Minutes <br />February 26, 2024 <br />Page 3 <br />1 Councilmember Doolan congratulated Mr. Larson and Mr. Haugen on the business. The $3.2M <br />2 brought in over the last 10 years is a benefit to the taxpayers. She asked about the uplift that is <br />3 needed for the facilities. Mr. Larson stated it is everything that needs to be done to the building <br />4 that is 20 years old. The HVAC system, the roof, the flooring, the counters, some shelving, paint <br />5 is all needed. <br />10 <br />12 <br />13 <br />14 <br />15 <br />16 <br />17 <br />18 <br />19 <br />20 <br />21 <br />22 <br />23 <br />24 <br />25 <br />26 <br />27 <br />28 <br />29 <br />30 <br />31 <br />32 <br />33 <br />34 <br />35 <br />36 <br />37 <br />38 <br />39 <br />40 <br />41 <br />42 <br />43 <br />44 <br />45 <br />46 <br />Councilmember Randle referred to the dip in 2023 and it looks like none of the new business <br />was lost. Mr. Larson stated during COVID many of the municipals didn't know what the future <br />would bring. The goal was to capture the new people coming into the stores and keeping them. <br />Profits and sales have continued at that level since re -opening. <br />B. 2024 Strategic Plan. <br />City Manager Charlie Yunker reviewed the 2024 Strategic Plan Power Point Presentation. The <br />presentation included The Team, the Agenda for the January 17-19, 2024 Meetings, The <br />Accomplishments, The Progression, On the Radar, Pyramid Changes, The 2024 Pyramid, and <br />The Strategic Plan. The Final 2024 Pyramid was provided for Council consideration. Mr. Yunker <br />noted there were not a lot of changes to the Action Steps in the Pyramid. St. Anthony is dealing <br />with same challenges as neighboring cities. More information is available on the City's website. <br />A brochure format has been created also. <br />Councilmember Jenson stated the amount of interaction was greater this year than in the past. <br />Some formatting changes were made to the pyramid which made it more clear. It is more <br />intuitive and easier to understand. <br />Councilmember Doolan stated the experience was a great opportunity for Councilmember <br />Stephens and her to learn about the various departments within the Cities. <br />Mayor Webster stated she appreciates hearing from all the departments and how those align to <br />the legislative priorities. She appreciates the values — service, trust and inclusion. <br />Motion by Councilmember Doolan, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to adopt the 2024 <br />Strategic Plan as presented. <br />Motion carried 5-0. <br />VII.
