2. VISION,VALUES AND GOALS In 2006,Ramsey community members formed Ramsey3,a grassroots organization dedicated to imagining the future of Ramsey. Through a series of community meetings the Ramsey3 process completed a Vision and Values statement with a Checklist for future decision making,summarized in the Introduction chapter. A set of Goals and Strategies,based on comments from the numerous community meetings,was compiled by consultants and City staff. The Goals and Strategies for each chapter of this plan are also repeated within those chapters. The Goals and Strategies were compiled before the final completion of the Vision and Values,so it is the intent of the City that where conflicts arise the Vision and Values will guide city policy decisions.
