January 16, 1989
5:30 p.m.
Large Conference Room
Members present: Mayor McKinley, Brown, Fox, Angel, Buck.
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the Preliminary Leap to
the Future - Year 2000 and Beyond Strategic Development Plan for
the City of Waterloo. Fedon Petrides, Chairperson of the Leap to
the Future Steering Committee, introduced committee members
present, including Frances Mills and Donna Nelson. The Year 2000
Plan is a comprehensive community -wide strategic planning effort
that will develop a common vision for the City for the Year 2000.
Work began on the Plan on February 29, 1988, Leap Day, when
approximately 120 local business leaders and citizens spent this
day at the Conway Civic Center developing their ideas on what
they would expect the City to be in the Year 2000. As a result
of this meeting and numerous meetings by the Steering Committee
and Resource Committee, a mission was developed, together with
mission statements, in the areas of progressive government,
economic development, quality of life and human relations. Each
of these four areas were subdivided into various goals and
strategies. Several amendments were provided by the Steering
Committee and reviewed. It was the recommendation of the
Steering Committee that said plan be adopted, as amended, and that
the Council direct the Committee to proceed with the development
of an action plan which will prioritize, schedule and assign
jurisdictional responsibility to the various strategies outlined
in the Plan.
No official action was taken by the Council at this time.
With no further business before the Work Session, the meeting was
adjourned.
