MAYOR'S REPORT

a. Goal Setting Process

Mayor Russell suggested the Council use the same process as in the past to set and prioritize goals. The Council agreed with the Mayor’s suggestions and asked staff to include the goals from other departments, boards and committees within the city so the Council can refer to them during the goal setting process.
 
b. Main Street Plan

Mayor Russell suggested scheduling a work session with the Planning Commission to determine what the issues and concerns are regarding the Main Street Plan.

The Council ultimately agreed, however, to meet first with the Planning Commission in a work session to educate new members of the Planning Commission regarding the Main Street Plan and discuss some of the concerns that have been expressed in the past; and then meet with the Main Street property owners to discuss those issues and try to address some of their concerns. The Council directed staff to coordinate with the Planning Commission and select possible dates for a joint work session and report back to the Council.
