Goal Setting began at 8:30 a.m.

Mayor Stromberg, Councilors Voisin, Morris, Lemhouse, Slattery, Rosenthal and Marsh were present. Staff: City Administrator Dave Kanner was in attendance.

Council reviewed the strategic planning goals and objectives that had been agreed to at its meeting of July 11, 2014, and went through each set of goals and objectives to determine which should remain on the list and which should be removed.  After discussion, Council agreed to the changes shown in the attached document.  Council agreed that they would send ideas for specific actions to achieve objectives to City Administrator Dave Kanner, who would compile them into the document and seek staff feedback on what staff believes it can do. 

Council agreed to meet again on August 28, from 8:30 to 12:30 to review that input.
Mr. Kanner noted that the City is allowed to ask three local questions in the citizen survey that will be conducted by the National Research Center this fall.  He suggested questions that might relate to the strategic planning effort around economic development, social services and city hall replacement.  Councilors agreed to send their ideas for questions to Mr. Kanner, who would bring them back for discussion at the September 2^nd Council business meeting.
