Assistant Steve Kipp, Morning News Tribune The workshop was opened at 6:20 p.m. with a review of goals from 1990, their progress and completion to date. Several goals have a mUlti-year impact including those that are the result of the Growth Management Act and which range from the transportation element to zoning and annexation policy updates. Mayor Roegner reviewed the 1992 goals progress to mid-year. Discussion centered on the SAMP, transportation element and Lakeland Hills park plan which are all multi-year goals. councilmembers wanting more in-depth information can review progress on these as the different elements are completed and the "policy packages" formulated and presented to the particular council committee handling their review. When the SAMP package is completed a joint presentation/workshop of the Planning and community Development Committee and the Public Works Committee would be appropriate. Mayor Roegner noted that funding sources will be an issue on the water and sewer plans. The goal regarding health services has been set aside so that we can concentrate on some other major goals and because goals such as the municipal court have taken priority. There was general consensus that the preliminary goals should move forward. Discussion took place on specific items. Councilmember Kurle asked what goals we might develop as a result of the Youth 2000 report. Mayor Roegner noted two possible objectives: (1) interest in developing a youth center¡ and (2) hiring a youth coordinator for youth programs. The question of what options to consider for the construction of a community center, and improvements to the senior center and library were discussed. Due to the current economic situation and not wanting to commit the city to a plan that would affect City finances over the next several years, Councilmembers did not favor any of the financing methods discussed. The general consensus was for staff to research options further and report back to the council. Councilmembers would like to see a goal which embodies the objective to work cooperatively with neighboring jurisdictions to further the best interests of Auburn citizens. Other suggested topics were landscaping improvements along "A" Street S.E.¡ \ - ~- 1993 Goal Setting Workshop Minutes Page 2 continuing street improvements along Main Street; investigating development of recreation along the banks of the Green River, and broadening advertisement of City projects and plans to increase citizen awareness and participation.
