The following seven Strategic Elements

Element. The goals reflect the community's leadership
priorities and provide direction for the City and other entities
toward implementing the Vision.
The goals within each Strategic Element have been prioritized
with respect to its impact in accomplishing the Vision.
While all of the Strategic Elements are important,. the City
Council identified the top three Elements as Economic and
Community Development, Strong Financial Management
and Natural Resources. Resources will be focused on these
Strategic Elements.
Included with each Strategic Element is an illustration showing
part of an Implications Wheelo which helped define the
goals of that Element. The Wheels were used in exploring
the implications and impacts of various positive or negative
characteristics or actions that may or may not take place.
