UPDATE
INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this agenda report is to summarize the topics scheduled
for city council discussion at the March 19, 2018 work session.
A. SRF REPORT ON VARIOUS TOPICS
SRF accomplished work for the city associated with the County Road 21
and TH13 Corridor study. At the conclusion of that contract, Jason Wedel
suggested that the council may wish to have SRF address various issues
which had been previously identified by residents and business owners
on Colorado Street during the public engagement for the CH21/TH13
improvements.
Accordingly, SRF was asked to prepare design alternatives on the
following topics:
1. Colorado Street Parking Lot
2. Traffic Circulation Pattern on Colorado
3. Pedestrian Crossings
SRF will summarize their findings and present several alternatives for the
council and respond to council questions. At the conclusion of the
presentation the staff would appreciate direction from the council on the
various alternatives, if appropriate.
B. 2040 Vision and Strategic Plan
Progress is being made on this important document under the leadership
of Lori Olson. Lori has been working together with department heads to
put together a draft document. She has a number of questions about the
material she intends to share. The questions include:
1. The next 2040 Vision and Strategic Plan is intended to better
integrate with the questions contained in our periodic community
2
survey. Does the council continue to be supportive of the
connectedness of these two important community documents?
2. Do the five plan goals accurately represent those articulated by
the public at our community meeting? If not, what changes are
needed?
3. For each goal, objectives are in the process of being developed.
Does the council concur with the objectives prepared thus far?
4. In the spirit of SMART Goals, a deadline for completion of each
objective (short, medium or long) together with responsible party
is to be included. Is the council supportive of this approach?
5. To the extent possible would the council like to have the goals
and objectives align with financial allocations in the proposed
budget and/or CIP.
6. Finally, this document is only as good as the accountability
established for its implementation. Since the city manager is
responsible for the actions of the staff, does the city council want
to continue to make the achievement of these goals and
objectives part of the annual performance evaluation of the city
manager and therefore the staff or does the council prefer a
different approach?
Council direction on these questions will assist us in proceeding with the
completion of this important community document.
