OTHER COUNCIL BUSINESS
2. Discussion of establishing an annual City Council goal setting process.
Mr. Chiles provided an overview of his vision for a city council goal setting process. He shared that
he has had discussions with Cedar Falls City Council members, Iowa League of Cities, and City of
Richmond, VA on different ways and the benefits of establishing a city council goal setting process
and that he believes this would be a benefit to the City of Waterloo.
Mr. Boesen questioned the time frame for establishing a plan going forward.
Mr. Chiles commented that he would like to see it start in November.
Mayor Hart stated that starting in November is too late and explained the timing of the CIP,
Community Wide Visioning Plan, and that a way to merge council goals with these processes should
be identified. He agreed that the council should work to establish new goals and within the next month
or two someone should be identified to change the city council's goals.
Mr. Chiles commented that the goal setting should occur each year and that he wants it to be in an
ordinance to ensure that it happens.
Mayor Hart shared that two things are happening. First council needs to establish a vision with big
projects that complements the community vision plan. The second step is to develop a working plan
similar to Cedar Falls. Phase three could be to bring in staff ideas. He further laid out a rough outline
for how to proceed. He added that he thinks this is an excellent opportunity to merge the three plans.
Mr. Chiles commented that if council wants to proceed he will continue to reach out to UNI and Iowa
State Extension to start lining up conversations.
Mr. Boesen commented that he is supportive of this process.
Ms. Wilder shared that it is important that council set shared goals.
