RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully requested that the Mayor, City Council, and Planning
Commission meet and discuss the 2012 Visioning goals and priorities, outline priorities for 2015,
and provide direction to staff.
BACKGROUND:
The 2012 Visioning Study addresses issues and opportunities in the
community. It also identifies goals, priorities, and strategies to address each issue.The study was
intended to provide direction for the City in its planning, administration, and investment efforts
over the next 20 to 30 years. In 2014, City staff, the Planning Commission, and the City Council
addressed a number of these project priorities and a number of issues still need to be addressed in
the future.
The City annually revisits the Albertville Vision Study for goals and policies and establishes
priorities for the next ten years. Each year, City staff attempts to pursue and address project
priorities established by the City Council.
On March 16, 2015 at 6:00 p.m., the City Council and Planning Commission will be meeting to
conduct a workshop to discuss the City’s Vision Plan and establish 2015 priorities. A
PowerPoint presentation of the Vision Study goals and long-range land use plan will be made at
the workshop. The City Council and Planning Commission should direct staff as to whether
changes to the Vision Study are appropriate.
