WORK SESSION – City Council Goals Retreat Follow-up <br /> <br />Ms. Piercy reminded those in attendance that the City Council and several City executive staff persons had <br />participated in a goal-setting work session on February 7, 2009. <br /> <br />Mr. Ruiz wished to continue the discussion from the previous goal-setting session and hoped to establish a <br />framework for the future work of both the council and executive staff. <br /> <br />Mr. Ruiz directed those in attendance to their copies of the Eugene Counts Framework (ECF) organizational chart <br />and noted that it had been drafted from the previous goal-setting workshop for the purpose of demonstrating the <br />desired outcomes of the City’s leaders as well as the specific measurements and strategies that would be employed to <br />reach those outcomes. He further noted that the principles described in the chart would assist in helping the <br />community fully understand the goals the City Council, staff and executives were trying to achieve. <br /> <br />Mr. Ruiz presented a corresponding PowerPoint presentation for the ECF process and noted that in addition to <br />demonstrating the various goals and desired outcomes for the City it would also provide opportunities for public <br />feedback, evaluation and discussion. <br /> <br />The council and executive staff discussed several variations on the language contained in the Council Vision and Safe <br />Community portions of Mr. Ruiz’s ECF presentation as well as many revisions regarding the same. The council and <br />staff members discussed the language and overall philosophies of the various bullet points as presented by the City <br />Manager and further discussed several revisions. <br /> <br />The council and staff briefly discussed the language of the Safe Community and the corresponding Outcomes <br />statements as listed in the draft ECF chart. Mr. Ruiz noted that staff had attempted to keep the number of outcomes <br />listed relatively low so that the measurement of those outcomes might be tracked more easily and efficiently. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council April 15, 2009 Page 1 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br />
