PURPOSE: To briefly discuss which planning goals can be prioritized and accomplished in the
short term.
BACKGROUND: At least since 1999, there has been a full course of planning goals. Due to
sequencing, problem solving, interrelated issues, prioritizing, and limited time and personnel
resources, only a minor portion could be accomplished. Even though these successes are
numerous a prioritization and brief reassessment is necessary for the planning director to focus his
energies and resources on the most important goals and projects.
The priority list is attached for review.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is potential fiscal impact if consultants or extra permanent, temporary,
or intern personnel are required.
RECOMMENDATION(S): To be discussed at the meeting.
