City Council Strategic Planning Meeting Monday,January 30, 2012 Page 9 City Manager Malinen opined that he was here to help the City Council develop long- range goals to support their vision, and to better understand the details of how they want- ed that vision to be implemented through the City's various departments; and to under- stand the priorities of the City Council and share in how to accomplish them. Fire Chief O'Neill opined that the purpose was to communicate strategic short- and long- term goals of the Fire Department and how they meshed with the City Council to ensure they were similar or the same. Councilmember Pust advised that she was here to "take notes" of tonight's discussion.
