Committee members discussed the elements of the Mission and Vision statement and individually ranked each component according to their perception of importance. It was the consensus of the committee that the Vision statement should be a broad declaration of the City's goals and the Mission statement should be more task oriented on how to accomplish those goals. Micah Cawley suggested that each statement should stand alone instead of being combined as they have been in the past. Dave Edler asked each committee member to create his /her own mission and vision statement and read it to the group. Randy Beehler was directed to use each person's opinion to craft a new statement based on their collective content, which the committee will review at their next meeting (scheduled for March 4). Committee members discussed potential revisions to the Council's Strategic Direction Priorities, ranging from modifying priority titles to adding new priorities. The committee specifically discussed changing the Community Safety, Regional Govemment Services, and Community Image titles. Due to time constraints, the committee did not reach any conclusions. Discussion of potential revisions to the Council's Strategic Direction Priorities will continue at the committee's next meeting. The meeting adjourned at 5:35 pm.
