you work through your thoughts and feelings about priorities for each department and, then, for <br />the City as a whole. <br />But this estimated cost should NOT be taken as gospeL Moreover, if you want the City to work <br />on any particular goal or priority or program at no additional cost to the City or at some lesser <br />net cost than is estimated, that is certainly possible. But then your fellow city Councilinembers <br />and city staff would need to know what existing City goal or program you believe should be de- <br />emphasized or eliminated in order to free up money to pay for the new or expanded goal or <br />program you prefer. A list of City programs or goals you think should be de-emphasized or <br />eliminated can definitely be part of this or future Council discussions. If you want to make it <br />part of this Council discussion, just note on the attached List the current City goal or program <br />that you want the Council to consider eliminating or de-emphasizing. <br />(I am not urging anyone to raise again the same policy issues that this Council has already <br />extensively discussed and has already decided. The Majority rules. I am not looking to beat <br />dead horses. I azn. looking for new horses, new initiatives and new goals for this Council to <br />consider and give direction on.) <br />If you think this might be a helpful approach, please revise the attached List so it includes all <br />goals and issues that are important to you, and get your priority rankizags of the items on the <br />revised List back to Margaret h kr noon on Wednesday, April 27. Then, Margaret would compile <br />your aggregate rankings for each department and for the City as a whole and put it in your <br />Council packet for you to discuss at your May 9`�' Council Meeting <br />To Recap, if you think this approach might be helpful, Please: <br />1. Add any goals or priorities you think should be on the list of `Big Issues" that is <br />attached. <br />2. Prioritize what you see as the top 3 issuesfor each departrnerit. <br />3. Prioritize what you see as the top 6 to 10 issues overallfor the City. <br />4. Get your ranking form back to Margaret by nnfln on Wednesday, April 27. <br />�-� �. <br />� - . <br />2 <br />
