Identification and Discussion of Multi-Year Goals
City Manager Bill Lindley reviewed the goals and objectives for the
planning session and stated the desire is for City Council to identify
multi-year goals to serve as direction for continued development of the
annual work plan. Reflecting on a book discussion held by the City
Council during the April 15, 2008 Pre Council Worksession, the City
Manager emphasized the importance of embracing ideas that may
otherwise be quickly dismissed. Mayor Kelly stated that one of the
strengths of the City Council is an open willingness to tackle big issues
while being flexible to embrace unique suggestions.
City Manager Bill Lindley introduced Mr. Ron Holifield who served as
facilitator of the City Council discussion. Mr. Holifield discussed the
importance of not allowing pre-conceived ideas to limit the City Council's
view of the state of the City. Mr. Holified reviewed a previous City
Council book discussion and highlighted examples of ways leading-edge
organizations capitalize on new initiatives transforming their traditional
ways of approaching work.
