Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 11, 2015 Page 12 Strategic Plan Summary 2016 — 18," Mr. Trudgeon noted the KOI and Targets were broken into different subgroups, with Department and Assistant Department Heads in attendance tonight to speak to each of the areas they'd worked on, even though the entire group had addressed all of the initiatives from an organizational standpoint to determine if they were feasible. While this is only a summary, Mr. Trudgeon expressed staff's excitement in working with the City Council on their direction over the next two years.
