ITEM A / CITY COUNCIL — EXECUTIVE TEAM GOAL SETTING WORKSHOP
The City Manager introduced Cathy Standiford, consultant from Management
Partners, who facilitated the process and stated that the outcome of the
Workshop should be a consensus on major goals. The accomplishments of the
past year were acknowledged and it was noted that significant progress has
been made on the goals established a year ago. In fact, many activities have
been completed. The City has made great progress towards achieving financial
stability, in part by increasing the ability to generate revenues. In particular, City
staff is doing an outstanding job finding and recapturing lost revenues, improving
internal controls, and taking other steps to ensure financial discipline and
accountability.

The City Council and staff are taking a systematic approach to address City
issues as a whole. Focus remains on the City's most important priorities,
