The city council focused on the draft Fiscal 2013 Goals and Objectives Program last night in work session.
Three hours later a greater understanding of the potential work plan for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 2012 was had.
The draft included 164 specific objectives in the key areas of protecting health and safety and maintaining basic service levels; enhancing and sustaining the economic climate of the community; improving existing housing and protecting neighborhood quality; and enhancing city attractiveness and controlling the cost of government.
The work plan will be refined and presented for formal adoption of council in the budget later in the year.
And with its adoption, the staff will hit the mark running with clear direction as to the important tasks to be achieved next year.
