City Council Minutes <br /> January 28, 2016 <br /> Page 3 of 4 <br /> ----------------------------- <br /> Council Member Akerson stated that these FrameWorks will be good <br /> models to use especially during the budgeting process. <br /> 4. Organizational Goals Work Session <br /> Nancy Malecha reviewed the Organizational Goals for Council <br /> Consideration spreadsheet. She noted that the goals listed include <br /> current year, mid-range, and long-range goals for departments and <br /> committees. Ms. Malecha further noted that the goals listed under the <br /> Comprehensive Plan Implementation header were for Council <br /> consideration as to priority. <br /> Council discussion ensued. The consensus of the Council was that the <br /> departmental goals were merely for their information and should be <br /> determined and prioritized by the respective department heads. The <br /> Council highlighted the following goals that they would like to begin <br /> working on using the Decision Making Framell otks strategy. <br /> • Create a development vision and strategy for the 100 acres of <br /> MnDOT land turnback north of the City's current wastewater ponds <br /> and south of the City's existing Business Park (EDC). <br /> • Capture the broadband infrastructure inventory in Pequot Lakes <br /> which entails the providers, speeds, and locations of service (EDC). <br /> • Proceed with the design phases of Tradside Park (Park). <br /> • Review the future land use map as it relates to the realignment of <br /> TH 371 (P&Z). <br /> • Provide designated off-site parking for vendors and other support <br /> personnel during downtown festivals and gatherings so that the <br /> public space is not cluttered with vehicles and parking is available <br /> for patrons and visitors (P&Z). <br /> Mayor Sjoblad noted that the Council should begin this process by <br /> formulating a vision for the City and the strategic direction will follow. <br /> Council Members will review the City's Comprehensive Plan and <br /> Downtown Plan to determine a vision statement for the City and present <br /> their ideas at the February 29th City Council Meeting. <br /> 5. Small Business Revolution <br /> Nancy Malecha informed the Council that Mayor Sjoblad brought to her <br /> attention a Small Business Revolution on Main Street nomination process <br /> for a $500,000 main street makeover; however, the deadline to submit the <br /> nomination is January 28th at midnight and an essay must be included. <br /> Due to the short timeframe, the Council opted to re-visit this next year. <br />
