Also in attendance:
Marv Himmel, Facilitator
Shelby Case, Woodburn Independent
Facilitator Himmel provided informational background on the
goal setting process which involves 3 steps - 1) Identifying
goals, 2) Staff reviewing those goals to analyze impact and
action planning, and 3) the budget process to achieve the
goals. He noted that the goals should drive the budget
process and not be driven by the budget process. Lastly,
implementation and periodic updates complete the cycle.
Prior to this workshop, the Council and staff had prepared
short and long-term goals which were summarized by Mr. Himmel
into categories. Prior to reviewing this summary, the Mayor,
council and staff each provided a description of their
individual goals for the community.
The following is a list of goals that the Council would like
to see over the next two years. During the discussion
process, the staff provided background and technical
information to assist the Council in establishing their goals.
PARKS AND RECREATION:
