in"hon ilia L% St. Anthony Village In 2025 2013 Strategic Plan Priorities for the 2013 work session were different than in previous years. In addition to identifying the short term goals and objectives and building the Pyramid, city leaders wanted to a longer term focus, they wanted the group to think ahead and dream about the vision for the City in the years to come. In order to encourage productive discussion and stimulate ideas, both the City staff and City Council were involved in pre -planning and advanced homework assignments. City staff met on November 13, 2012 and engaged in a roundtable discussion on these three points: • Identify qualities and characteristics you think will define the City in 2025. • The year is 2025, what does St. Anthony look like? • What specific goals and action steps can betaken in the near future (1-3 years) that will help to define the future of the City and realize the vision identified in question two? The staff collected their ideas and organized them by the existing strategic initiatives. A sampling of the visionary ideas generated by the staff and shared with the City Council includes: Environmental Stewardship • Create mixed zoning uses for walkable community • Build transit hubs Quality Infrastructure • Continue reconstruction and maintenance program Technological Proficiency • Explore expansion of fiber optics • Provide 24-7 customer service through e -transactions Quality Housing, CII Businesses • Upgrade and reinvest in the housing stock • Redevelopment of commercial areas Demographic Diversity • Offer programming and activities for all age groups • Integrate all community groups into common vision Sound, Safe, Progressive Community • Collaborations with other local governments • Maintain distinct qualities of the City • Begin comprehensive planning process
