each value listed? Vision: Can we know we've arrived? Mission: Does this answer why we exist? Objectives: Is each objective listed essential to achieve our vision and mission. A survey had been sent earlier the prior week to each meeting participant, and discussion ensued relating to the results of that survey as to where we are with regard to the vision, mission, etc, and answering the questions stated above. Break: The planning session recessed at 7:10 p.m. and was called back to order at 7:17 p.m. Update Values, Vision, Mission, Objectives and Strategies as Necessary: The consensus was that values are important and we are living them and working on continuous improvement. Several minutes were spent discussing the vision and making some slight amendments to the wording in the vision statement. There was consensus and agreement with the mission. Objectives were discussed. Strategic economic development is new businesses, current business retention, current business expansion, housing stock and quality of life. Discussion ensued relating to the objectives listed plus talk of possibly meshing a couple of them together. There were a couple items placed in a "parking lot" for later review, such as better CIP planning so not such large amounts of money are needed at one time — and talk about a "less specific" connected community. Discuss Next Steps / Closing Comments: Moving forward, staff will put together what are the right strategies to align with current objectives, put together concepts and propose action items. The couple of items listed in the parking lot were noted. The proposed strategies will be sent out via email prior to the group meeting again for discussion. The tentative date set for the next session was 5:30 p.m., Wednesday, March 13, 2019. The information will be reviewed, and when Council is comfortable with the language, the plan will be brought forward for formal adoption. Upon request by Mayor LeTourneau, everyone shared at least one thing they got out of this session. Adjournment: Consensus was to adjourn the meeting. The strategic planning session adjourned at 9:10 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Kurtis G. Ulrich, City Administrator ATTEST: M.
