This approach features a <br />foundation of council goals that are activated by concrete community-informed outcomes, strengthened <br />by rigorous and transparent monitoring of progress toward achieving those results, and kept relevant by <br />an ongoing commitment to listen broadly to the community. <br /> <br />Using information from the Eugene Counts public engagement effort as well as varied sources such as <br />the community survey, neighborhood survey, and downtown safety and development discussions, the <br />council had a rich conversation about potential outcomes and the underlying values represented by those <br />outcomes at the January 23, 2010, goal-setting retreat. The information gleaned from the retreat guided <br />the development of the updated set of outcomes presented in Attachment A. <br /> <br />The April 26, 2010, work session will allow the council to approve the updated outcomes and thus <br />launch the next phase of work on Eugene Counts, including the development of strategies to achieve the <br />outcomes, measures to track progress, and a dashboard to engage the community in ongoing dialogue <br />about the City’s performance. <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL OPTIONS <br /> <br /> <br />1.Approve the set of outcomes as presented. <br /> <br />2.Revise the outcomes and then approve. <br /> <br /> <br />CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />The City Manager recommends that the council finalize the council goals process by approving the <br />updated outcomes. <br /> Z:\CMO\2010 Council Agendas\M100426\S100426B.doc <br /> <br />
