OTHER COUNCIL BUSINESS 146907 - Amos/Morrissey that four 2017-2022 Strategic Plan Goals, be received, placed on file and approved as follows: Goal 1: Support the creation of new, livable wage jobs through a balanced economic development approach of assisting existing businesses, fostering start-ups, attracting new employers, and cultivating an adequate workforce; Goal 2: Implement a Community Policing strategy that creates a safe environment in Waterloo; Goal 3: Reduce the City’s property tax levies through a responsible balance of cost reduction in City operations and increases in taxable property valuations to ensure that Waterloo is a competitive, affordable, and livable city; and Goal 4: Enhance the image of Waterloo and the City to residents and businesses inside and outside of the community. Randy Herod, 111 Hyland Boulevard, provided council with lists of questions he has about the goals and read through some of the questions. Eric Lee, 3450 Wegner Road Gerald Sulky Company, encouraged council and department heads to grow business in waterloo without heavily considering the taxable value of the property. David Dryer, 3145 W. 4th Street, explained that the government has either reduced the levy and increased the property valuations or increases the levy and reduces property valuations. He further expressed the need for more jobs in Waterloo. Mr. Lind questioned if the item should be tabled to refine the goals further. Mayor Hart explained that the process is not yet finished. The City needs overarching goals and staff develops work plans to meet the goals. He further explained that the process started when he first took office on how to get waterloo from point A to B and how to make progress. Council sat down in August to start the planning process as a whole and discussed how the process has worked to this point. He further explained that the entire plan would be brought back before council with action plans for executing the goals. Mr. Lind questioned if it was part of the Institute for Decision Making’s recommendation to further refine the goals. Mayor Hart confirmed. Mr. Jacobs clarified the process and questioned if council will be able to see metrics for the plan. Mayor Hart confirmed that the overarching goals need to be set first. Mr. Schmitt commented that he believes that the city should consult with the private sector and have an efficiency audit completed for the city. Mr. Morrissey commented that the facilitators from the Institute for Decision Making provided excellent information at the initial planning meeting and that the private sector would have a difficult time explaining to a public entity how it should conduct business. Page 16 of 67 December 19, 2016 Page 11 Mayor Hart commented that he sat through the previous strategic planning session and that the council got too far into the weeds and the plan did not work. The new plan will not sit on the staff and will be used as a way to measure progress and staff accomplishments. Roll call vote-Ayes: Six. Nays: One (Schmitt).
