Summary and conclusions:.` The goals session achieved its two broad purposes first, an issues prioritization was determined; and, second, a workplan for 1990 was agreed upon. However, like any strategic planning document, these results should not be considered permanent. They should be evaluated periodically and re -appraised, particularly at the end of six months. The session indicated another very important fact: a solid accord of both city council and Staff on the major issues facing Rosemount and a surprisingly high' level of consensus on the approaches to be used in examining the issues of the day. 7 ► J .t " y GENERAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT/LAND USE ISSUES Quality of Life A.
