1. Councilor Burge discussed the recent Council goal setting session, past goals and
upcoming goals. He stated he was not pleased with the goal setting session and felt it
was a staff-driven, prebudget briefing session. He stated that the Budget Committee is
scheduled to meet in the future and review these issues. He questioned if Council
would need to listen to the same issues again during Budget Committee meetings. He
stated that during the goal setting session, there was no discussion of 1996 goals. He
stated that Council goal setting sessions should be Council driven and not Budget
Committee oriented. He stated he was not pleased with the session held this year.
Councilor Beyer stated it was unfortunate that goals were not discussed but reminded
Council that they did provide input and rated what they wanted to discuss during the
goal setting session.
City Manager Mike Kelly stated that he could not sense if there was much desire and
interest to hold a session this year. Mr. Kelly stated he was lead to believe that the
majority of those responding to the input forms considered the discussion of financial
projections as a top priority. He explained that the goals were scheduled to be
discussed during the session but they ran out of time. Mr. Kelly reminded Council that
he asked if they wanted to spend more time discussing goals and the response was
negative.

the entire Council. He again stated goals for 1996 were not established.

Mr. Kelly responded explained the process used to determine the agenda for goal
setting session. He further stated that Council could schedule a meeting to further
discuss and determine goals.
Councilor Burge stated that the Mayor and Councilors should sit down and discuss
goals. He stated that goal setting sessions were to discuss community needs and
prioritize them.
Mayor Morrisette stated that staff now had input for the goal setting session next year.
Councilor Shaver stated that if there was a change in the Council this next year, they
could decide if a goal setting session was needed. He stated that the value to hold an
in-depth discussion could be considered alternating years.
Councilor Beyer stated that the goals were fiscally driven and this was the time to
review anything if needed prior to the budget review.
.
Councilor Ballew discussed goals from last year and suggested Council discuss the
priorities
Councilor Burge stated he agreed with Councilor Beyer regarding goals and budget
timelines.
