Mayor LeTourneau stated that each year the City Council wants to visit and work on the strategic <br /> plan, as that outlines the work not only for the current year but future years as well. He stated <br /> that this plan was developed in a long process that involved many stakeholders. He stated that <br /> the vision has remained the same, with some revisions to portions of the plan along the way. He <br /> stated that the discussion for this year was that there should be a review to determine if the <br /> current plan could remain with some revisions, or whether additional changes should be made. <br /> He explained that there have been new members added to the Council and that is why it will be <br /> helpful to have preliminary feedback on the strategic plan. He stated that after this meeting there <br /> would be a series of quick assessments for the members of the Council to complete, which will <br /> help to test the validity of the vision, values, mission, and objectives. He stated that based on the <br /> results of the cumulative responses it will help to guide the discussion next week. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill noted that the intent is to review the mission, value <br /> and vision, which,will help staff to direct the strategy and action items for the Council to review <br /> in the future. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma noted that the original plan was a little overzealous and has been scaled <br /> back a bit. He agreed that this has been a helpful tool to guide the work of the Council and staff. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove asked if the results of the surveys will be available prior to the <br /> meeting next week. <br /> Mayor LeTourneau confirmed that the results will be made available to the Council to review <br /> prior to next week's meeting, which will give a background on the type and depth of the <br /> discussion that will occur. <br /> Councilmember Heinrich asked if this tool has been used in the past. <br /> Mayor LeTourneau stated that although a review has been done in the past, this tool has not yet <br /> been used. <br /> Councilmember Shryock stated that this tool seems like a great way to gauge the position of <br /> everyone and determine if there is consensus or whether a deeper discussion will be needed on <br /> the different elements of the plan. <br /> Mayor LeTourneau stated that the tool of the strategic plan has served the City well, but it only <br /> works if the members of the Council are aligned. He noted that the assessments will be emailed <br /> to the Council members the next day or so with a goal to complete the assessments by Thursday <br /> night or Friday morning. <br /> 2.02: Review the City of Ramsey's Legislative Platform <br /> City Administrator Ulrich reviewed the staff report, which includes the City's legislative <br /> platform and legislative topics of interest to the City. <br /> City Council Work Session/February 12,2019 <br /> Page 2 of 6 <br />
