This allows new Councilmembers to have the opportunity to provide input while considering the City’s economic condition. The previous set of goals was adopted on April 19, 2017.

These comments are identified in blue writing after each goal. This report was prepared with review and input from Department Heads and staff members involved in the oversight of goal implementation A red-lined working document version of the City Council Goals, including the Guiding Principles. This version contains only the proposed changes from staff After the accomplishments are presented and staff receives feedback, it would be staff's intention to return to Council on May 8th with a draft revised goals document striking out those goals that have been accomplished and adding additional goals suggested by Council in the interim. Suggestions for goals from Council can be sent to Brianna Carrier at [email protected]. Staff is encouraging Councilmembers to reflect on the documents presented and provide feedback over the following weeks to either update the current document as formatted or to streamline the document, which would necessitate more time for preparation.
