RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to adopt the City Council’s 2021-2025 Goals and
Strategic Directions, as presented
BACKGROUND
The City Council and staff convened on two occasions this winter to perform an exhaustive process to
establish an updated Strategic Direction for the City for 2021-2025. The City engaged the firm Hue Life to
facilitate the process, which included a review of the pre-existing plan, accomplishments and setbacks from
previous years, and the vision for the City moving into the next five years. Reflected below is the result of
that process, which is a modification and expansion of the previous plan.
1. Growing Rosemount
• Rosemount is at the cusp of numerous new development opportunities, and the City needs
to ensure that it is well positioned to pursue and capitalize on these opportunities in the near
term. This goal category focuses on growing the City’s retail and service opportunities, while
attracting and retaining job creating businesses.
2. Connecting & Engaging with the Community
• A modern municipal operation is centered around transparency and connectivity with its
residents. The technological needs of the organization and our residents is also a necessity
going forward, and the City is committed to providing high-quality engagement with
residents while also implementing tech-minded advancements wherever possible.
3. Enhancing Quality of Life
• The City has established a consistently delivered high quality of life and we are committed
to continuing and expanding upon previous work. The City’s downtown improvements will
support its vitality and establishment of future state-of-the-art recreation options are a focus
to attract and retain our residents with our unique hometown feel.
4. Developing a High-Performing Organization
• In order to accomplish the lofty goals established, a highly functioning City staff must be
continually fostered. Further, a culture of customer service is critical and a baseline
expectation of residents. Opportunities to grow, train, educate, and retain staff need to
remain a focus going forward.

Specific high-level goal statements for each category were established and are shown on the attached
infographic. Significantly more detail was created in subcategories of each section. Also created was a
project tracking calendar with assigned duties for staff members, which is retained internally for our focus.
We are pleased with the results of this process and are proud to share the City’s Goals and Strategic
Directions for the next five years. It is an aspirational number of items to pursue, but staff and Council are
committed to putting in the hard work to achieve as much of it as possible to continue the City’s successes.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the 2021-2025 Goals and Strategic Directions, as presented.
