Synopsis:	Goals for the year 2003-2004 were developed by the City Council during a workshop on February 8th, 2003, and subsequently adopted by the City Council on April 15 of this year. The status of these goals as of April 15, 2003 is marked in blue. Goals remaining unchanged are also marked in blue. Updates as of October 10 are marked in red.
Recommendation:	At the conclusion of last year's goal setting session, it was the consensus of the City Council that two days were needed to establish goals for the upcoming year. It is requested council decide on dates for the upcoming two-day Goal Setting Workshop in January as follows: Friday/Saturday 9th and 10th; Friday/Saturday 16th and 17th; Friday/Saturday 23rd and 24th; Friday/Saturday 30 and 31st. Facilitator Sylvia Rose has indicated she is currently available for any of these two-day goal setting workshops in January.
Fiscal Impact:	Projects included in the 2003-2004 Council goals were incorporated into the approved 2003-2004 Budget document. Projects identified at the upcoming goal setting workshop in January will be incorporated into the 2004-2005 budget and will come before the Budget Committee for final approval and incorporation into the approved Budget document.
