The City Manager indicated it is important for staff to have direction. For next
year's budget she has asked the departments to set goals regarding Economic
Development, Tourism and Public Safety. She recommended setting aside time for
strategic planning but this wait until the budget process is out of the way. She felt it
would be advantageous to set aside entire days or a weekend for the strategic planning
process. She emphasized we need to set the City's future.
Commissioner Thomas stated he believed in strategic planning but felt it should wait
until after the Special Election in October. He felt a three day "crash" is needed. He did
not believe he would have picked the areas for budget goals any differently than the City
Manager had.
Mayor Garvey agreed the process needed to stop being piece mealed.
Commissioner Johnson stated we need to come up with the essentials that govern
the City.
It was the consensus to set aside time, possibly a weekend, in mid-November for
Strategic Planning.
The meeting adjourned at 5:57 p.m.
