Key Financial Strategies, 2009
Since 2002, the City Council has annually set goals and priorities for the coming year.
The priorities are referred to as Key Financial Strategies (KFS). The KFS represent
the major projects to be undertaken over the next year.
Included are the projects we discussed at our Visioning Workshop on Saturday,
January 10th. At Monday's workshop, we will review the goals.
Although staff helps to compile this spreadsheet, the City Council decides which items
will become Key Financial Strategies. Each council member assigns a ranking to each
item. The rankings are averaged, and based on these averages the Council will select
the KFS for 2009.
Following is the schedule for setting the 2009 KFS:
Saturday, January 10,2009
Staff presents suggested KFS to City Council.
City Council brainstorms additional KFS
suggestions.
Monday, January 26,2009
City Council's Final Suggestions for KFS list.
Tuesday, January 27, 2009
Staff distributes electronic spreadsheet for City
Council rankings.
Monday, February 2, 2009
KFS ranking due to Assistant City Manager.
Monday, February 16,2009
Staff presents compiled rankings. City Council
finalizes 2009 KFS.
