Community Priorities Help Shape City Plan

Ensuring public safety; maintaining streets, sewer lines and facilities; preserving historic treasures; evaluating needs of youth and families; and keeping the community up-to-date on City issues ... 

Where do we begin? How do we make a plan?
To answer these questions, the City must set priorities to develop an effective work plan geared to meet overall community needs. 

These goals guide the City’s budget and activities each fiscal year. Although this is always an important annual process, it is especially critical during challenging economic times when services and projects may need to be reduced or cut. Each fall, we take the opportunity to present the City’s priority projects, which have been developed with community input. Inside this issue you’ll find a status report on some ongoing projects and discover new activities now underway. 

You also have the opportunity to shape priorities for the coming year by filling out the  Community Survey (in PDF format). Please take five minutes to fill out the survey and send it in by November 30. 

Thank you for participating. Together we can work to provide quality services that help make your City an even better place to live, work and visit.
