IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The City Council has historically conducted a biennial retreat early in the even
year City new any of installation following election Council City a and
Councilmembers.
The primary purpose of the biennial retreat is to develop goals to guide the City,
as an organization, over the biennium and beyond. The Council's goals may be
broad or narrow, they may address a specific issue or pertain to an overall
direction in which the City Council desires the City to move. Over the years, the
City Council's goal statements have evolved from a list of projects and initiatives,
to the most recent example which consists of six major goal priorities, each with
an overarching goal statement, under which each is a list of initiatives, projects,
aspirations and directives, some broad some very focused.
Development of the City Council goals is truly the first step in the biennial budget
development process, as the goals set the course for the City over the biennium
and often beyond. City Council goals drive the Capital Improvement Plan, the
Page 2 of 10
work plan of city staff, boards and commissions, agency policies and long-range
planning.
Council goals communicate to the community, and the region, Council's intent
and the direction they want to take the City. Further, the go als are what staff
uses to shape the biennial budget proposal and as a filter for each significant
action and initiative undertaken.
In developing the new City Council goals, the City Council has been informed by
considerable information, including:
• Prior City Council Goals and updates on those goals.
• Results of the National Community Survey, conducted the previous year,
which Council was recently presented.
• Community input received at the Community Listening Sessions held
earlier in the year. Notes from those sessions provided separately.
• Issue Papers developed by staff. Provided separately.
• Issues each member may have noted during the course of business or
during a campaign.
Finally, the retreat offers Council an opportunity to discuss ideas and concepts
not on a formal City Council agenda. Those conversations may lead to a new
goal, a specific task for Council or staff, or simply a better understanding among
the members.
V. DISCUSSION:
The 2022 Biennial City Council Retreat will commence on Friday, March 25 from
5:00 PM to 9:00 PM and to end on Saturday, March 26 from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM
at the Best Western Premier Pasco Inn & Suites, Tuscany Room, located at 2811
North 20th Avenue, Pasco, WA 99301.
The Friday session will start at 5:00 PM with an overview and purpose of the
retreat, followed by presentations from Department Directors of issue papers.
The Saturday session will begin at 8:00 AM with a presentation from the City
Attorney, a discussion and review of process facilitated by Andrew Neiditz,
consultant, a review of the accomplishments and progress on the 2020-2021
City Council Goals, ending with a discussion of new topics and proposed
modifications to current goals, which will take the bulk of the day.
