current Goals.
• Communications: Continued focus on increased communication efforts, in-light of
the forthcoming vacancy in this position. Residents crave additional information
and engagement with the City, and the progress made on this front must continue.
• Retail & Commercial Site Visioning: Engage a consulting firm to assist staff &
Council / Commission on illustrating the vision for what could occur at 5 key retail

developers and tenants, along with a communications tool to resident to ensure
them that we’re focused on these needs and to create excitement about what’s to
come.
• Community Events: Great strides have been made in recent years on establishing
new community events to bring residents together and retain the small-town feel.

events such as the Food Truck Fest, Movies in the Park, Farmers Market, etc.
