2013-2015 City Council Goals and Workplan:
Every year the City Council holds a strategic planning and goal setting retreat to monitor progress and determine priorities and action steps for the coming year. The result is the establishment of the Council’s goals and workplan. This workplan, which is aimed at improving our ability to fulfill the community’s vision, is then reflected in department workplans, in the City’s budget and capital improvement plan and through special initiatives.
At the City Council’s 2013 retreat, Council determined to continue the focus of its goals for 2013-2015 towards achievement of Vision 2029 and being a sustainable city in all respects. This includes:
- Sustainable neighborhoods – ensuring they are safe and attractive;
- Sustainable environment – enhancing our built environment so that it protects our natural resources; and
- Sustainable services – supporting quality services, facilities and infrastructure.
Council also determined the four goals that were adopted in 2012 were still relevant and supportive of Vision 2029 and should continue to be the goals for 2013-2015. Council added a fifth goal that will focus on maintaining a safe community.
