Sam Mamet, Executive Director of the Colorado Municipal League, will be the facilitator of City Council's discussion this evening. After introductions and some initial comments, staff would like to hear City Council's view on Key Issues the City faces and how the City might address them. To assist City Council in the discussion, staff has prepared a "brainstorm" of Key Issues potentially affecting the City organized into Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT). During the retreat Sam Mamet will ask City Council to discuss, revise, add or delete staff's brainstorm list to provide a context for discussion on Goals. Once the SWOT conversation is complete, we will move on to Goals and Objectives. Using the identified SWOT issues as context, staff would like the City Council to identify and prioritize the Goals that Council wants to achieve. City Council may want to specify which Goals are short term (within the next two years) and longer term. With the Goals identified and prioritized, staff will prepare a Work Plan /Action Plan for further discussion /review at a following Study Session and /or City Council meeting.
