Councilmember Randle referred to the dip in 2023 and it looks like none of the new business
was lost. Mr. Larson stated during COVID many of the municipals didn't know what the future
would bring. The goal was to capture the new people coming into the stores and keeping them.
Profits and sales have continued at that level since re -opening.
B. 2024 Strategic Plan.
City Manager Charlie Yunker reviewed the 2024 Strategic Plan Power Point Presentation. The
presentation included The Team, the Agenda for the January 17-19, 2024 Meetings, The
Accomplishments, The Progression, On the Radar, Pyramid Changes, The 2024 Pyramid, and
The Strategic Plan. The Final 2024 Pyramid was provided for Council consideration. Mr. Yunker
noted there were not a lot of changes to the Action Steps in the Pyramid. St. Anthony is dealing
with same challenges as neighboring cities. More information is available on the City's website.

Some formatting changes were made to the pyramid which made it more clear. It is more
intuitive and easier to understand.

Stephens and her to learn about the various departments within the Cities.
