HomeMy WebLinkAboutJ1 goal setting discussion Commission Memorandum REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission FROM: Chris Kukulski, City Manager SUBJECT: Goal Setting for 2007 and Beyond MEETING DATE: October 2, 2006 BACKGROUND: After considering the Commission’s discussion regarding goals during our September 25th meeting and seeing that our next two meetings have relatively light agendas, I would like to get the goal setting process concluded over the next two regularly scheduled meetings. Attached is a compilation of each of the past three goal setting discussions combined into one list for your review and consideration. I also deleted any items that have already been accomplished and put a strikethrough line on the items I assume are no longer relevant (only you can make that call, which is why they are not deleted). At this step, I would ask each Commissioner and department director to be prepared to add or remove any items it feels should be up for consideration during our October 9th Goal Setting discussion. As a reminder, these items were identified in my 2005/06 evaluation and our February 2006 and December 2004 goal setting discussions. RECOMMENDATION: The City Commission discuss the attached list of potential goals and please be prepared to add or remove any item(s) it feels should be up for consideration during our Goal Setting discussions. FISCAL EFFECTS: These goals will be utilized in preparing the 2007/08 fiscal year budget. ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
