Page 5 The City Council reviewed the opportunity in late summer of 2016 and authorized Staff to submit a Letter of Intent. The City Council generally saw the value of the Program, and desired to learn more about the potential benefits of being the next Partner Community. Projects were selected from existing Strategic Plan and Work Plan documents. These plans are the results of a multi -year effort to lay out a vision for the short-term and long-term goals for the community. The benefit of these documents is that they already identify a project lead and desired outcomes and indicators. Following the Letter of Intent, the City's Management Team and group of Project Leads met to confirm our continued support of being the next Partner Community. We have prepared a list of 17 Primary Projects as our full application. We have also prepared several Alternate Projects that are in the queue for opportunities to swap projects in the event proper matches cannot be made for Primary Projects. All of the Projects Leads identified in the proposal support involvement in the Program and have read the desired commitments for their part. On February 14, the City Council passed a resolution authorizing the final application to the program. The City Council, Planning Commission, Management Team, and Project Leads have all indicated support for participating in the Program. It is our mission to work together to responsibly grow our community, and to provide quality, cost-effective and efficient government services.
