The Commission created a 10-year Action Plan in 2014 and has since updated <br /> it to better meet the goals and expectations of the group. Many of the goals have been accomplished and <br /> staff continues working on better ways to track city accomplishments. <br /> The ECC is looking for more direction and clear goals from City Council and Council expectations for <br /> the Commission.The Action Plan has been shared with the City Council and city department directors in <br /> the past and it's important to understand the long-term objectives in the planning and budgeting process. <br /> The ECC feels the Council would benefit by having some detailed discussion on the goals, objectives, and <br /> budgeting process prior to finalizing the 2019 city budget. The ECC would welcome any <br /> recommendations Council would provide as they pertain to goals, tracking metrics, and budgeting <br /> process. The Action Plan has been shared with city department directors to get their feedback on items <br /> that affect their departments. <br /> The Commission members are very passionate about Energy City and have expressed their willingness to <br /> meet more frequently and spend more time on city projects. Staff is looking for more direction and <br /> desired outcomes from City Council. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> None <br /> Attachments <br /> ■ Updated 10-year Action Plan <br /> The Elk River Vision <br /> A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional <br /> rIPVIEREI 11 <br /> service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity NATURE <br />
