Committee members suggested that the "dot" exercise include all goals and not just those identified above for discussion. Committee members agreed that each Councilmember should be given the opportunity to add one goal to the list. Chair Wagner agreed to update the table of goals and transmit it to the Mayor with a request for a five minute staff update on each at the retreat. Committee members reviewed the five strategies and recommended the following definitions for each: One Auburn: A strong sense of community, allowing all people to appreciate each other through celebrations and by working together to solve problems cooperatively. Sustainability: Economic viability coupled with environmental stewardship, while planning and acting for our future. Quality: Striving for the best in people, projects and services. Page 5 Council Operations Committee Auqust 11, 2010 Partnerships: Continually seeking and maintaining productive relationships with out internal and external partners.
