BACKG R UND1JU TiF[CATION:
Each year the City Council and staff should review the City's Strategic Plan to ensure that the Council
and staff are working together toward common goals and objectives, the priorities of Council for the
City are well defined, and that progress has been made to achieve the prioryear's goals. In addition,
with a new Councilrnem er taking office in 2013, it is important that the goals and priorities are
conveyed and discussed to maintain focus on the projects and issues that are of highest priority to the
City in the long tern. Additionally, as the City grows and changes each year, the short term goals and
priorities may change and those changes should be reflected in the Strategic Plan. The long team goals
are less likely to change significantly from year to year, but still should be reviewed annually to reinforce
the importance of staying the course in all decisions ire order to achieve those long term goals.
Last year as the City developed its first strategic plan, a facilitator was used to guide the discussion and
to allow everyone to fully participate. For this initial annual review meeting, a facilitator is not being
proposed. This meeting will serge as a review and overview discussion; thus, a facilitator is not
necessary at this point in the process. The 2013 proposed budget does Include funds for a facilitator if
one is needed fora future planning meeting.
Finally, there are a few main items linked to the Strategic Plan that will be specifically discussed at the
special meeting. These include: 1. Phase 3 of the reorganization plan. 2. Summary of the items and
processes analyzed for efficiency and effectiveness. 3. Economic development objectives.
