Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Chris Kukulski, City Manager
SUBJECT: Goal Setting for 2007 and Beyond
MEETING DATE: October 30, 2006
BACKGROUND:
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). I have also been adding items to the list as they are e-mailed and I have added any
items were we received a “below norm” score from our 2005 National Citizen Survey.
In preparation for the discussion, I suggest, you identify those items that would top your priority list
as well as those that would definitely not be high priorities. If you are prepared in this fashion, we can
quickly shrink the list and spend the bulk of our time discussing those items that require the most debate and
discussion. We also want to leave enough time to rank our goals in order of importance. Everyone from the
leadership team will be present to help answer questions and assist you in this important task.
RECOMMENDATION: Highlight items on the goals list that in your mind should be top priorities and
cross out those items you think don’t belong on the list.
FISCAL EFFECTS: These goals will be utilized in preparing the 2007/08 fiscal year budget as well
as define how the administrative team will spend time and money each day.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
Respectfully submitted,
