language to review existing events and consider the value to the City. She stated that she could <br />provide her notes from the meeting to staff to ensure the changes are included. <br />Councilmember Riley referenced the items regarding staff recognition and stated that while those <br />are important he was unsure whether those items would be considered as strategic action. <br />Human Resources Manager Lasher stated that she remembered there was discussion of the <br />Council that it would be important to include that item so that residents can see that the City is <br />working to retain staff members. <br />Mayor Strommen confirmed the consensus of the Council to leave that item included. <br />Councilmember Riley stated that there had been recent discussion readdressing The COR and <br />zoning, which does not appear in the document. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill stated that the Comprehensive Plan could be an <br />indicator for that item as that would include the land use vision. <br />Mayor Strommen stated that could also be addressed under the sale of City owned properties, <br />noting that the item should be reflected somewhere. <br />Councilmember LeTourneau stated that this document is starting to age because it has not been <br />implemented and that will continue over the course of the document, noting that a review can be <br />done from time to time. He stated that his fear would be that the City attempts to do everything <br />and in that accomplishes nothing. <br />Mayor Strommen stated that through the review process the City will be able to gauge whether <br />some of the goals were too specific. She confirmed that the item suggested by Councilmember <br />Riley should be added somewhere in the document. <br />City Administrator Ulrich questioned where the idea of a community center falls on the radar of <br />the Council as he does receive questions from residents. He stated that the position at this point <br />has been that the City is not in the position to pursue that at this time but would consider a <br />partnership opportunity should that arise. He also referenced the old town hall building and <br />questioned if there should be a plan for that as it continues to deteriorate. <br />Mayor Strommen stated that there is an item which specifies a diverse and robust offer of <br />community activities and believed that a community center would fall under that item. She <br />stated that not everything that the City does will be included in the document and believed that <br />the old town center would fall into that category. She recognized that eventually the Council <br />will need to do something with the old town hall building. <br />Councilmember LeTourneau stated that perhaps the old town hall building could be discussed in <br />a future case. <br />City Council Work Session / June 9, 2015 <br />Page4of7 <br />
