RECOMMENDED ACTION: Consider dates, times and the structure for 2012 -2013 goal
setting meeting(s).
BACKGROUND
Each year, the Council sets aside time to review citywide goals for the next 12 -18 months. The Council
has previously indicated interest in starting early on goal setting in 2012 since no new council members are
taking office this year.
DISCUSSION
Two of the 2011 -12 goals that we adopted in April were to "prioritize desired amenities" and "develop
several five to ten year goals" in addition to the shorter term goals we normally have. Both of these items
could be structured into our next goal setting sessions if we wish to do so.
In order to plan for the upcoming goal setting meetings, the following items should be considered:
• Do we want to have a two day (e.g. Friday night /Saturday morning) or a one day (e.g. all day
Saturday) format?
• What staff members need to be there and when?
• What dates are available for all council members?
• What changes (if any) do we want to make in our process?
• What do we want our final product to look like in terms of number and specificity of goals?
• Where do we want to hold the goal setting meetings?
RECOMMENDATION
The Council should rovide staff direction as necessary to plan the goal setting meetings.
