Council Strategic Priorities /Mission & Vision Committee
Thursday, Feb. 21, 2008
4 p.m. — City Manager's Conference Room
Council Members: Dave Edler, Micah Cawley and Kathy Coffey
Staff: Dick Zais, Dave Zabel!, Randy Beehler and Debbie Moore
o Elect Chair
Dave Edler determined it wasn't necessary to elect a Chair, since the committee
only met on an "as needed" basis.
• Assignment from retreat to re -work statements for mission and vision
and strategic priorities for the next two years
Randy Beehler distributed the current Mission and Vision statement and
Strategic Direction Priorities and gave some background on the evolution of the
two documents.
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.
