Regular City Council Meeting Monday, October 19, 2015 Page 19 Council member Etten addressed current headings and strategic priorities and KOI's and suggested key outcome indicator be changed to strategic initiatives. He also questioned those titles beyond the new "strategic initiatives" column. Coun- cilmeinber Etten noted that since the initiatives would be acted upon, he found targets are largely outcomes and should be listed on the other side of the 4t1i col- umn and renamed outcomes and the column known as strategic initiatives becom- ing Goals or goals area. Mayor Roe agreed with that, but suggested "outcomestargets" remain where it is now, providing the outcoine you want to achieve and then listing how to achieve those outcomes. In reviewing those things currently listed under "strategic initiatives," Coun- cilmember Etten opined that out of that you could create actions, such as "in- crease community meeting value, etc that would be a result of the other column rather than the other way around. However, as stated by Mayor Roe, Coun- cilmember Etten admitted he could understand that concept of the "target." Mayor Roe noted that would address how strategic planning was done, including where we want to be and how to get there. Councilmember McGehee suggested, instead of "KOI," titlingit "Areas oflnter- est." Councilmeinber Etten stated he didn't like the word `initiative." Mayor Roe noted there was obviously a philosophical layout issue with the doc- ument and two different ways to look at it from the perspectives of Councilmem- bers Etten and McGehee in moving "target" to the end of the list as where you wanted to end up. However, Mayor Roe stated his perspective was that if the "target" was first on the list, it would drive everything after that, opining that it inade more sense to put it on the list earlier rather than at the end. Councilmembers Etten and McGehee agreed with Mayor Roe's process as stated. Councilmember Laliberte stated that another thing she would appreciate and soinething not included in this document, was tools to use in measuring those things — in whatever format staff chose — that would be consistent for each area. Councilmember Willmus opined that even if in transition with the "Housing and Redevelopment" strategic priority, there appeared to be a clear understanding of what to do or enhanced tools needed for the "Infrastriicture Sustainability" strate- gic priority. Therefore, Councilmember Willinus opined that the real discussion was in the Housing & Redevelopment area, and tools needed to accomplish a stra- tegic focus or initiative for reliable KOPs.
