City Council /Mayor Procedures (scheduled for discussion per Council action 1/26/87) Report from City Manager and Councilman Greenalch 2/6/87 entitled Strategic Planning Vice Mayor Chandler explained that part of Item 12 was to be submitted by Mayor Claire, but in his absence Council will discuss the report re Strategic Planning as it relates to procedural matters. Councilman Greenalch presented the report. He said Council's role and function would be: 1. It would be Council's responsibility to select what it considers to be the key issues facing the City; 2. It would be the Council who would look at the Mission Statement; and 3. Council should be willing to commit itself to one council meeting a month to look at key issues and get progress reports on them. Discussion followed regarding the wording of the statement, the suggestion that the committee give the Council a working plan, dates and times so that Council could develop a strategic plan and go forward with it; and the need for the strategic plan to be redefined. In response to questions regarding additional costs and staff time, City Manager Smith said there would be no monetary cost and it would not be an additional burden to staff. The cost will be in terms of time of the Council and Planning Commission and committee. CONSENSUS: Vice Mayor Chandler determined that the consensus of Council is that Council wants to proceed with Strategic Planning and that at the next Council meeting, February 23, the committee will submit a continuation of the next steps, including the definition of Strategic Planning.
