He asked City Manager Balser if this addresses that for <br />her He wants to make sure this supports staff being innovative and taking risk. Mayor <br />Pro Tem Lipton stated it should include organizational risk as well Councilmember <br />Maloney stated it needs to be ok with the Council that the City Manager and staff can <br />take risks and when they do so they will be supported <br />Councilmember Leh stated it is important to have varying levels of generality and also <br />have the right amount of detail It does need to be concise enough that everyone can <br />use it all the time. The process to get here is critical and so is the roll out of the plan, <br />how it is maintained, enhancing it over time, and holding people accountable. He stated <br />integrating this is critical and as is connecting it to the work plan and programs. <br />Councilmember Leh stated it is possible to be not a small town but still reflect those <br />characteristics with the personalization of services, being neighborly, safety, etc. He <br />feels the building blocks are here. <br />City Manager Balser noted this is the framework and staff will go back to see how to <br />integrate it with the other pieces and make some refinements before the final <br />presentation in December <br />Councilmember Keany stated the vision and small town experience is what we want to <br />have no matter how big we get. This is more aspirational as we implement all of our <br />programs and the vision applies to all of them <br />John Leary, 1116 LaFarge Avenue, stated he thinks one item that is missing is what are <br />we trying to address, if there is a reason to do this let's define that and address it. It is <br />not clear exactly what the goal is here and how it will be used to change employees. <br />Staff has no role in the political process that will affect these goals. Small town <br />character is a political issue not administrative. <br />City Manager Balser reviewed a few other items including some scheduling items and <br />an upcoming public safety campaign <br />ADJOURN <br />Members adjourned at 7:23 pm <br />.A/6,9- OcANC/tA <br />Robert P Muckle, Mayor <br />Meredyth Muth, <br />
