CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: MAY 23, 2016
AGENDA #: 5G
PREPARED BY: FRANK BOYLES, CITY MANAGER
PRESENTED BY: FRANK BOYLES
AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO THE 2016 TOP
PRIORITY VISION ELEMENTS FOR THE 2040 VISION AND
STRATEGIC PLAN
DISCUSSION: Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to request council approval of updated
language for the three top priority vision elements for 2016.
History
Earlier the city council was asked to identify its three top priority vision
elements for 2016. The following vision elements were considered most
important by the city council for 2016: Natural Resources, Economic and
Community Development and Community Assets
Current Circumstances
The bolded language describing each element was not revised. At the time
these elements were selected there was some discussion about how the
elements should be updated. I have sought to update each by first
removing already completed objectives. Then changes were made to goals
and objectives based upon the council’s discussion. Finally I asked staff to
review them to assure accuracy and completeness.
The city council is asked to review the proposed revisions and once the
elements reflect your desires, adopt them. The staff will then prepare them
to be incorporated in the 2040 Vision and Strategic Plan as an insert as we
have done in the past.
Here is the proposed language for the three 2016 Top Priority Vision
