RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Every two years the City Council adopts a Policy Agenda that outlines the policy initiatives it wishes to undertake in the two-year Council term. This proposed Policy Agenda has been developed through discussions with and among Council Members during two City Council retreats and a work session. The 2005 -2007 Policy Agenda includes results statements on which Council will focus its policy work during the coming two years. The results area missions are supported by a number of policy goals that will provide focus and guidance to staff over the next two years. City Council also has developed a list of "Potential Approaches and Actions" for each of the Missions. These suggestions will offer staff some additional guidance as it develops work plans to achieve the Policy Agenda goals. The list of actions and approaches is included as Attachment 1. After Council has adopted the Policy Agenda,the City Manager will work with staff and the boards and commissions to create work plans which support these goals. The City Manager will then report to Council on a quarterly basis regarding the organization's progress in achieving Council's stated goals. Staff will also work to share information with the community regarding Council's goals.
