~~NK BOYLES, CITY MANAGE~\
CONSIDER PROVIDING DIRECTION ON OTENTIAL 1996
CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND OBJECTI S
JANUARY 2, 1996
AGENDA #:
PREPARED BY:
SUBJECT:
BACKGROUND:
Annually the City Council adopts a set of goals and
objectives which guide council activities for the coming
year. This agenda item requests Council discussion of
possible goals and objectives for 1996. Final approval
of the goals and objectives would occur at the January
workshop.
DISCUSSION:
Attached is a legislatively formatted copy of the City
Council top priority goals. As the Council can see, the
document shows the 1995 City Council top priority goals
and their status with respect to completion. I have made
revisions to the 1995 goals as a means of suggesting
the Council's 1996 top priority goals. Language which is
stricken through is to be deleted, while language to be
added is underscored. The Council can also see I have
renumbered the goals.
ISSUES:
The Council should determine whether it wishes to add,
delete or modify from these top priority goals. I will use
these goals as the basis for making revisions to the
strategic plan and tactical elements for the Council's
workshop. Since the top priority goals will also be a
discussion item at the workshop it is not necessary for
the Council to finalize these goals on January 2, but to
simply discuss them briefly as food for thought prior to
our January meeting.
RECOMMENDA liON: Review and briefly discuss the goals in anticipation of a
more complete review and final approval at the January
19/20 Winter Workshop.
