Department Approval <br />1�� <br />�.. 1 � � <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Date: November 30, 2015 <br />Item No.: 8.j <br />City Manager Approval <br />Item Description: Discussion of 2016 Policy Priority Planning Document <br />BACKGROUND <br />� For the past several months, the City Council has been discussing and reviewing priorities for the City <br />to focus on in 2016. At the November 9, 2015 meeting, the City Council reviewed a draft of the policy <br />planning document prepared by the City Manager. After discussion, the City Council directed the City <br />Manager to make some minor changes to the document and bring it back for final consideration. <br />The 2016 City Priority Plan has been revised as follows: <br />• An additional column entitled "Status" has been added to each Strategic Initiative page. This <br />will allow for staff and the City Council to track the progress of each task. <br />• At the bottom of each Strategic Initiative page, there is space for "Measures of Success" to be <br />listed. As the page already lists "Desired Outcomes" for each Strategic Initiatives, the <br />Measures of Success area will report back with specificity whether those outcomes were met. <br />An example Measure of Success is listed on the Create a Southeast Roseville Redevelopment <br />Plan page. <br />• Additional responsible parties were added to the Southeast Roseville Redevelopment Plan page <br />(East Metro Strong, Smart Growth America, and St. Paul Area Chamber of Commerce) and <br />review of the Smart Growth America report and review of previous HRA work in the SE <br />Roseville has been incorporated into the timeline. <br />• The Planning Commission was added as a responsible commission under the Twin Lakes <br />Economic Development goal. <br />• The "Propelling City-wide Economic Development" strategic initiative has been changed to <br />"Facilitate City-wide Economic Development". The task of developing goals, objectives, and <br />outcomes for this initiative has been added to the timeline. The revised policy priority planning <br />document is contained in Attachment A. <br />POLICY OBJECTIVE <br />� Adopting strategic priorities will provide the City Council and staff direction in providing City services <br />and programs in a planned and targeted way. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACTS <br />� There are not any costs for further discussion of the Policy Priority Planning document. As the <br />� priorities are executed, any new costs will need be included in future budgets. <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />
