It is 9 30.

Time to get started.

I'm going to call this strategic planning meeting to order.

Welcome everyone here today.

We've got least one former mayor here.

I thought I saw Dan O'Neill earlier, but I guess he was just dropping something off.

I think this is the first time that this entire group has been together since we've been sworn in as a council.

So thank you all for coming today.

Um for the city of Edmund.

So I believe that's all I had to say in opening, unless any other council member would like to bring anything up.

With that, Casey, we're gonna let you start off there with item number two presentation discussion of updates of the 2025 strategic plan.

Thank you, sir.

Uh Casey Moore, Director of Management Services.

Uh before I jump into that, uh figured it might be good to go over just a little bit of housekeeping before we get started.

Um so I'll run through this list real quick.

Here's your friendly reminder to silence your phones so that you're not that person that's scrambling to pull it out of your pocket or your bag later.

Um we do have restrooms uh available, the main restrooms if you go out the door here or all the way down, uh, but then there are is also a single restroom just right here across the hallway.

So if you need a restroom at any point, that's where you can find those.

Um you all can recess at any time that you would like, just as long as you do when you when you do recess, Mayor, if you would make sure that you state a return time, that'll make our our city clerk very happy.

Um we do have a hard stop today at 3 30 because we have a planning commission meeting tonight.

We've got to reset the room.

So uh we're we're hard stop at 3 30.

Just want to make sure that you all knew that.

Um we are recording, so to the best of your ability, speaking of the mics.

As staff speak, they'll come up here to the podium.

Uh I do have a floating mic as needed, uh, but we are recording so cameras and mics are all active today.

Um staff will come up, provide updates while we're doing this.

Um I think the main thing to remind you all is obviously this is this is your plan, and we're here to support you and in helping you try to get to where you want to be at the end of it.

So um myself and Jane will be facilitating.

Uh she's here to take any notes that we things that we need to put in the parking lot.

Uh we can put them up there on the board, and then um this afternoon uh when you all are having your conversation.

If you need some some things put in in notes, uh we'll we'll put those up on the screen so you all can see those and uh just try to support you in any way that we can.

So um I think that is all of our housekeeping unless I missed anything that anyone else can think of.

Okay.

All right, so we are gonna jump in.

Um I think the goal is to try to get through these as as efficiently as possible.

So um I'll introduce the item.

Staff member that uh is the the key person on that will will be prepared to come on up and and speak briefly uh and then obviously answer any questions that you all have and and we'll do our best to kind of uh zip through this and and make sure that we're staying on task so you guys have lots of time.

So we will jump right in.

As a reminder, this current plan that we're we're updating was uh done by the sitting council last November and it's a formal goal identification process.

It's been going on and evolving over the last 20 years amongst city councils.

Um this particular one has a star system uh that that gives priorities to staff to know uh which goals are are were most important to be spending time on.

Um, 133 star nine, two star, nine one star.

Um they're all important just because they have more or fewer stars doesn't mean they're not as important.

That that was basically uh as direction to staff on on where to to spend time and resources.

Um as we go through this, you'll see some status categories complete obviously is one uh in progress, means active work is taking place and progressing.

Ongoing means active work is taking place, but the goal may not have a defined end to it, and then on hold, it's on hold for some sort of specific reason.

So we will jump into the first strategic initiative.

I'm not gonna read through all those, but these are the categories uh that fall under quality of life, so all these goal goals that are in here fall under one of these subcategories uh for quality of life.

So our first one, and I don't believe uh Lena's here, so if someone else wants to jump up and handle uh support completion of the city center complex within budget.

How about that?

This is right.

I'll just come up here.

Yes, yes, please.

Hi, Randy NCM uh development services.

Uh well, we're sitting in it, so uh it's completed.

Um as you all know, you just uh approved the last of the uh fixtures and finishes uh packages a couple weeks ago.

Uh we are under budget and uh moved in and uh for everything I've heard, everybody's very satisfied with the building and uh it's a great asset for the city.

Happy to answer any questions.

Randy, yes, sir.
