REQUEST FOR ACTION TO ITEM NUMBER Ma or and Ci Council 6.3 AGENDA SECTION MEETING DATE PREPARED BY Work Session Febru 13, 2012 erem Barnhart, Plannin Mana er ITEM DESCRIPTION REVIEWED By Council Visioning REVIEWED BY ACTION REQUESTED Update to progress toward completion of the 2011-2012 action steps. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION In May 2011, the City Council adopted the goals and action steps, all associated with furthering and promoting the vision identified in March, 2011. Since then, staff in each department have worked on completing these actions steps ahead of the self- imposed deadline of June 30, 2012. The attached spreadsheet illustrates each action step, how it relates to a goal, and the estimated completion level. How completion is ultimately defined varies among the tasks, for example Benchmark Ser>tice.r (A3), will result in a report for the Council's ongoing use, while Implement Median and Streetrcape Standards (CS) will be considered complete when either the Council approves a Capital Improvement Project with these included, or when the Council decides that implementation is not warranted. If the Council wishes to consider this item complete, when medians are physically improved, this task will remain on the list for several years, as the budget allows. Recall that these tasks represent work above and beyond the day-to-day operating tasks required. Many of the tasks were and are predicated on other tasks being completed, most notably the citizen survey. With the completion of the Citizen Satisfaction Survey and the Brand Plan last summer, staff has moved swiftly on a number of fronts, which is reflected in the spreadsheet. In the coming months, the Council will see more items referencing individual tasks. Budget intensive items will be added to the 2013 budget discussion. Next s As staff works to update the action step lists for the 2013 budget cycle, the Council is asked to provide feedback: do these goals remain consistent with Council desire? Have Council Members identified specific goals they feel need to be addressed? Ultimately, staff envisions a process where the Council identifies specific goals and staff develops a task list that satisfies those goals. Staff will be available at the meeting to discuss the upcoming process. fII1~E~#~ $r N:\Public Bodies\Ciry Council\Council RCA\Agenda Packet\02-13-2012\Vision update February 13 2012.docx
