<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION <br />AGENDA ITEM II <br />SUBJECT: DISCUSSION – CONSIDERATION OF 2014 GOALS <br /> <br />DATE: MAY 28, 2013 <br /> <br />PRESENTED BY: MALCOLM FLEMING, CITY MANAGER’S OFFICE <br /> <br />SUMMARY: <br />On March 19, 2013 City Council reviewed the issues submitted for consideration as part <br />of the 2014 budget by the Mayor and Council Members, Directors, advisory Boards and <br />Commissions and those who attended the March 2, 2013 Ward 1 meeting. As the next <br />step, Council asked staff to consolidate and organize these issues in a way that might <br />facilitate ranking them into priorities. <br /> <br />To begin this process, staff consolidated a number of similar issues into broad goal <br />categories and objectives related to each goal. These goal categories and objectives <br />are listed below (in no particular order). It is possible to group many of the issues into <br />numerous categories or goals, so the result simply reflects staff’s attempt at this; there <br />are of course other groupings that could also make sense. <br /> <br />Public Involvement: <br /> Review Conservation Trust Fund, spending and operations <br /> Conduct public process to determine support for 2014 infrastructure bond <br />measure and associated operational needs <br /> Conduct neighborhood plans for Lake Park; Fireside, North Louisville <br /> Expand/enhance city outreach via social networking <br /> Enhance public involvement opportunities <br /> <br />Economic Development: <br /> Pursue new opportunities for parking in downtown <br /> Pursue all opportunities to fill vacant retail space, focus on Sam’s club site <br /> Facilitate re/development projects in the Highway 42 revitalization area <br /> Facilitate a new owner of the Phillips 66 site <br /> Create and implement Wayfinding plans throughout the City <br /> Provide funding for promotional programs for artisanal beer, wine and spirits to <br />generate economic activity in the City <br /> Concentrate on small, independent businesses <br /> <br />Arts and Culture: <br /> Adopt an Arts Center Use Policy <br /> Develop an Arts Master Plan <br /> Develop proposal and budget request for additional Arts staffing <br /> Propose a funding mechanism for public art <br /> <br />2
