2009 AND 2010 COUNCIL’S CITY GOALS |
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the attached Council’s City Goals for 2009 and 2010.
COUNCIL GOALS: Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT: None
BACKGROUND: It has been the City Council’s practice after elections to evaluate the City Manager and establish new Goals and Objectives upon which he will be evaluated in the future. The Mayor and Council have recently completed that process with the City Manager. The Council has then publicly presented those Goals and Objectives for public input before adopting them as their own.
At the session with the City Manager, the City Council provided very clear direction that the sole goal for the City Manager for the coming year is to be addressing the effects of the global financial crisis on the City’s finances and the economy of the community. The Council further directed that the existing Goals and Objectives be pared down to just the goals and that they be addressed within this context. These are both reflected on the attachment.
It is being recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Council’s City Goals for 2009 and 2010 in order to provide the City Manager and Staff guidance in allocating resources, developing the budget and creating programs.
STAFF MEMBER PRESENTING: Gregory C. Devereaux, City Manager
