Expectations (round table to set expectations of outcomes for the day)MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Jamie Verbrugge, City Administrator DATE: March 26, 2004 RE: Goal Setting Session The City Council 2004 Goal Setting Session is scheduled for Wednesday, March 31 at 2:00 p.m. We will meet in Eagan at 860 Blue Gentian Road. This is a fairly new Class A office building. The property owner, Interstate Companies, is making the conference room available at no charge. The conference room is located on the lower level. Directions to the site are attached. I am also attaching a couple of other documents for your review prior to the meeting. Council last year indicated an interest in using an approach based on the Carver Governance Model. I've attached a fairly lengthy description, as a refresher, of what Carver is and how it functions. The purpose of that portion of our discussion is just to gauge your comfort level with the style and concept. Frankly, I think the Council has done a pretty good job in establishing itself as a policy body, giving pretty clear direction to staff on issues. It would be helpful for the Council and staff to revisit the model to see if we are performing; as a team, at our best. Also attached is a copy of the 2003 Council Goals, as well as the Department work programs. We did a very good job of pursuing Council goals, for the most part. The Department goals were not given the same attention, in terms of being a guiding document, but I think the department heads, overall, have done well to implement many of the items identified. We will have more information to share at the goal setting session related to staff initiatives. I "would suggest that Council members may want to bring your copy of the Comprehensive Guide Plan and the Key Financial Strategies information as resource material. My preference is not to specifically discuss the KFS materials, however the information contained in the materials should be useful as we look at prioritizing issues for the coming year. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
