City of Centerville Goals Adopted May 23, 2001 INTRODUCTION This document is intended as a roadmap and statement of the priority work that should be considered by the City of Centerville for the next two years and longer term in regards to capital improvements. Ultimately, Council will decide what can be accomplished. This document is based on input from council members, committees, staff, and citizens. It identifies responsible persons and parties. It defines timelines to ensure that the proper consideration and research are completed to avoid delay in implementation. An example would be construction. The plans must be finished with enough lead-time to expedite the actual construction in good weather. The plan also highlights action taken and on the horizon where applicable. This is a similar process to Council's 1996 Accomplishments and 1997 Goals document. It does not preclude that new Goals may be identified or that this document binds future Council's. It is a priority list based on the information and input gathered to date. Every Council has had a process to set Goals and Priorities. This process may be a bit different from previous Councils, but the process agreed to in December 2000 by the initial participants was to brainstorm ideas, give every person a chance to highlight their priorities, assemble the comments and rank if possible and produce a draft document. This is the fourth draft based on this agreed to process. Council's have always relied on the advice and counsel of the advisory committees. This Council sought out the opinions of the committees. Both the Council and committees need to communicate what are the important priorities, opportunities, and trends that lead to sound policy decisions. In drafting this document, Council is very aware that the committees are voluntary and cannot devote endless hours to a task. That is why the document tries to focus no more than three tasks on any committee (some less). ?
