7550 Sunwood Drive NW • Ramsey, MN 55303 <br />City Hall: 763-427-1410 • Fax: 763-427-5543 <br />www.cityoframsey.com <br />July 3, 2013 <br />It is a great new day for the City of Ramsey! <br />On May 28, 2013 the Ramsey City Council adopted a new strategic action plan, known as A New Day, A <br />New Beginning. This action plan will guide and focus the City's work for the next three to five years and <br />will provide an organizational foundation for years to come. <br />The purpose of the new strategic plan is to create an open and transparent working environment as well as <br />shared expectations among elected officials and city staff. Through this effort, we hope to enhance faith <br />and confidence in the City of Ramsey. Outcomes of the planning process include a set of guiding <br />principles, a three to five year strategic action plan, and a balanced scorecard that helps us measure <br />progress along the way. <br />The strategic action plan includes its own mission and vision. The mission is: "To work together to <br />responsibly grow our community and to provide quality, cost-effective, and efficient government <br />services." It is the vision to: "Achieve economic vitality with strategic infrastructure investments through <br />market -driven growth." We will achieve the mission and vision through individual goals and actions for <br />each City department. <br />Ramsey's 2013 strategic planning process was a four -month collaborative effort that built upon the <br />community planning work previously completed by the citizen -driven Ramsey3 group in 2006. Primary <br />participants of the 2013 effort included members of the City Council and staff Management Team. Input <br />also was provided by members of the Economic Development Authority, Planning Commission, Park and <br />Recreation Commission, Environmental Policy Board, Charter Commission and all City employees. <br />Moving forward, the City's budgeting process will play a defining role in the implementation of <br />Ramsey's strategic plan by aligning resources and goals. <br />To view a copy of the Ramsey's new strategic action plan, A New Day, A New Beginning, please visit our <br />website: www.citvoframsev.com/strateticulan. <br />On behalf of the Ramsey City Council, we look forward to leading and serving our great community with <br />a consistent vision, an open and honest working environment, and a commitment to measurable results. <br />Mayor Sarah Strommen <br />City of Ramsey <br />
