Regular City Council Meeting Monday, February 13,2012 Page 15 Mayor Roe noted that he had not been in the majority supporting the original mo- tion last fall to approve the County Road C-2 connection; however, since it had moved forward, he advised that he would not stand in its way and would support the motion to approve the plans. Councilmember McGehee noted that she had also voted against the original mo- tion to connect County Road C-2, and would also vote against tonight's motion to proceed; opining that it was the wrong thing to do. Councilmember McGehee recognized staff's work with residents to accommodate their preferences. Roll Call Ayes: Pust; Willmus; and Roe. Nays: McGehee. Motion carried. Recess Mayor Roe recessed the meeting at approximately 8:08 p.m. and reconvened at approximately 8:22 p.m. in work session format. Councilmembers Willmus, Pust, McGehee and Mayor Roe were present, as well as Department Heads Chris Miller, Duane Schwartz, Rick Mathwig, Tim O'Neill, Lonnie Brokke, Patrick Trudgeon, and City Manager Malinen. b. Discuss Strategic Planning from January 30,2012 Council Meeting As a bench handout, attached hereto and made a part hereof, Mayor Roe had prepared a"Revised Attachment A" combining some Community Aspirations, re- vising the Organizational Mission Statement, and moving goals and strategies in several areas and adding existing work plan items into the mix as edited. Mayor Roe had noted items brought forward from individual Councilmembers and De- partment Heads at the January 30, 2012 meeting, as well as those existing work plan items. Mayor Roe clarified that the purpose of tonight's work session was not to word- smith the revised document, but to further refine the document to obtain a focus on particular strategies. Councilmember McGehee also provided a bench handout, attached hereto and made a part hereof, summarizing the Community Aspirations and Mission Statement, and suggested that this one-page document be used for discussion pur- poses to achieve long-range planning for staff to incorporate into their work plans that could be reviewed by the City Council in the future. Councilmember McGehee was not supportive of merging the work plan and strategic plan docu- ments. Mayor Roe noted that, as an organization, it was trying to achieve community as- pirations, and there was a difference in a detailed work plan and a strategic plan, which should come out of tonight's discussion, whether short- or long-term strat- egies or broader objectives that tie into the existing work plan.
