Elected officials and appointed staff gather community input from residents via: Council meetings Night to Unite, VillageFest and other community events and gatherings Personal interactions, phone calls, letters and emails. Department heads solicit input from City staff. Consultants provide perspective from their industry and their work in other cities. Commission chairs represent their fellow commission members and public, and our guests offer state and regional perspectives. This collective input helps guide the development of the City’s Pyramid. In previous years, goal setting workshops helped shape the City’s vision, mission, core values, goals and annual action steps. For this year’s goal setting workshop, the team focused on defining our goals to identify this year’s action steps. TRUST, SERVICE and INCLUSION are the three words that best highlight the qualities that the City Council and staff strive to embody in service to the St. Anthony Village community. The delivery of services by staff to Community is fulfilled in a respectful, courteous, and responsive manner. The work of Staff and Council to the Community is conducted in a civil and transparent manner. And the Council commits to ensuring equity of access, that voices are heard, and to fairness in the policy-making process. These values are the basis for how decisions are made, how services are delivered, and also ensures the city as a whole conducts itself in an accountable, transparent, respectful, and responsive manner. THE TEAM Every year, the City of Saint Anthony conducts a Strategic Planning and Goal Setting Workshop. The City of Saint Anthony is widely respected as a cohesive group that works well together as a team, shares mutual respect, and understands roles and responsibilities. City leaders work together to highlight the previous year’s accomplishments and identify anticipated projects for the upcoming year to determine the year’s key action steps. This year the group included approximately 30 individuals from city leaders, staff and community partners. All share a great sense of pride working together for the best interests of the citizens of the community. CORE VALUES Prior to this year’s Goal Setting workshop, Council members were asked to define their understanding of the goals. The team then collaborated during the Goal Setting Workshop to develop definition statements for each goal. These statements are not included on the Pyramid, but are intended to help guide the Council as they make decisions throughout the year. ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY Minimize Saint Anthony’s impact on the environment and enhance resilience through action in alignment with the City’s Climate Plan and Regional, State and Federal guidelines. THRIVING VILLAGE A community for all residents where the City is responsive to concerns, enables successful things to happen, and residents have opportunity to thrive INFORMED & ENGAGED COMMUNITY Communicate Council priorities and department activities to support resident’s ability to actively participate, feel engaged, and understand how their voice can be heard. SAFE & SECURE COMMUNITY Protect our community’s physical and psychological safety (individual and collective) through strategic investment in personnel and tools to provide excellent city services FISCAL & ORGANIZATIONAL STRENGTH Invest in the community’s infrastructure and personnel to deliver outstanding City Services through a culture of continuous improvement, resiliency, and responsible stewardship of resources. DEFINING THE GOALS City Council Adopts Pyramid City Staff Assigned Action Items Annual Goal Setting Discussions Updates to the City Council Continual Information Gathering Continual Information Gathering City Council Adopts Pyramid The Pyramid is used year-round by the City to track progress and ensure the City remains focused on its goals. It depicts the City’s identity and how the City engages with the community. The Pyramid also illustrates the relationship between the City’s Vision, Mission, Core Values, Goals and Action Steps. On the Pyramid, Action Steps are updated annually; and the Vision, Mission, Core Values, and Goals are reviewed every few years. During goal setting and the strategic planning process, the Mayor, Council, City Manager, Department Heads, City Planner and City Engineer review ideas generated from discussions. The team reflected on progress from the 2024 Pyramid’s Action Steps. Next, the group identified priorities, or Action Steps, for the 2025 Pyramid. Each spring the City Council presents the Pyramid to both the Parks & Planning Commissions. It is published in the VillageNotes newsletter, and made available on the City’s website. THE PYRAMID’S KEY FACTORS VISION Identifies our ideal outcome for the City and sets the framework for the rest of the Pyramid. All subsequent strategic planning efforts directly relate to the City’s Vision. MISSION Describes what we do and for whom. For our City, providing high quality services is essential to supporting a high quality of life for all residents. CORE VALUES Guide how staff should work for and with the community. These values are imperative for all staff to demonstrate. GOALS Establish target aspirations that the City aims to meet. Typically, the Goals are broader and focus on the next 3-5 years. ACTION STEPS Key priorities that City staff or City Council focus on for the year. The City recognizes that not all of the year’s priorities can be identified at the beginning of the year and adapts to new action items as applicable. 2025 Vision Saint Anthony is a Village where all people can live, work, learn, play and thrive …………………………………………………… Mission Promote a high quality of life to those we serve through outstanding city services ………………………………………………………………… CORE VALUES CITY S ERVICES Infrastructure & Amenities Planning & Permitting Governance Communications & Engagement Public Safety Finance & Administration Saint Anthony Village Wine & Spirits G O A L S Environmental Responsibility Thriving Village Informed & Engaged Community Safe & Secure Community Fiscal & Organizational Strength A C T I O N S T E P S CLIMATE PLAN • Review and consider policy-related action steps with input from Parks & Environmental Commission: - 2025: Energy & Transportation - 2026: Water & Waste • Continue education and operations action steps in all categories • Adopt Energy Action Plan and begin implementation GREENSTEP CITIES • Continue program involvement including Gold Leaf participation • Evaluate how the city can better leverage participation long-term AFFORDABLE HOUSING • Consider an Affordable Housing Policy for new high density projects • Advocate for residents facing rent pressure • Identify partner to best fulfill Council priorities for city owned parcel PEDESTRIAN & BIKE- FRIENDLY ROUTES • Draft Active Transportation Plan • Grand Rounds Missing Link engagement ENGAGE BUSINESSES • Partner with Chamber of Commerce to build relationships with businesses CITY COUNCIL ENGAGEMENT • Continue Connect with Your Council efforts • Continue participation with regional partners • Leverage Sister City to help advance city goals PUBLIC SAFETY ENGAGEMENT • Continue priority of community relations throughout the city WEBSITE REDESIGN & ADA UPGRADES • Begin redesign project to be complete by 2027 SENIORS & YOUTH • Support partners in engagement and programming PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITIES NEEDS • Explore feasibility of a Public Safety Facility to meet Police and Fire long term needs MUNICIPAL LIQUOR AND CANNABIS • Continue efforts to open a city-operated dispensary • Draft vision for the future of the existing liquor stores FIRE DEPARTMENT • Explore expansion of Advanced Life Support capabilities POLICE DEPARTMENT • Continue Falcon Heights integration INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING • Integrate plans for roads, parks and buildings into overall Infrastructure Plan WATER TREATMENT PLANT AUTOMATION • Explore upgrades to automate additional functions in the water treatment plant STAFFING • Review Fire Department staff model and growing calls for service • Continue to support Police Department recruitment efforts • Support professional development of City Council and staff Trust | Service | Inclusion DRAFT THIS PAGE LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK
