Priorities. <br /> We have warked hard a# creating an engaging environment and oppoctunities far the <br /> City community to partner with the City. <br /> Continuing our efforts with that approach, we invited the community to attend one of two <br /> workshops where we asked far fiheir inpu# on what's important �o them, where they <br /> would like the City to be concentrating its efforts, and where they would like the Council <br /> to focus. The results of these workshops would �hen be provided as input information for <br /> the Cifiy Council priorities review session. <br /> These two meetings were identical sessions and were held on the evenings of <br /> Wednesday, January 23` and Thursday, January 31 We had a total of 8a community <br /> members in total attend the two mee#ings. <br /> The two groups were very dynamic and excited about providing their input. We were <br /> gratified to see that a good number af people were "new" - they had not attended a <br /> community input session with the City in the past. We have made new contacts and will <br /> continue to invite them to get involved in community and City issues and opportunities. <br /> From what we saw on these two nights, we will likely see them in the future! <br /> At each meeting we began by providing dinner and asking them to share with each <br /> other "T�e story of how you came to tive or work in Redwood City, and how you became <br /> part of our communi#y." <br /> Build a Great Communify Togrether <br /> Exce/lence: Passion To Do Our Best !n Each Momenf Integrity.� Do The Rrght 7"hing, Nof The Easy Thing <br /> Service: We Care And 1t Makes A Difference Creativify: Freedom To Imagine And Courage To Act <br />
