<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />City of New Brighton <br />January 13, 1981 <br /> <br />in an efficient and effective manner; by a concerned Council, <br />by capable, hard-working managers, by qualified, dedicated <br />employees, and with full input from our citizens, especially <br />those on our committees. There are no scandals here like <br />the ones we've seen in the news or heard about in other <br />cities. Our City is running well. <br /> <br />We can all be proud of these efforts. The services we provide <br />our citizens week after week are of high quality and they are <br />provided in a cost effective way. It is because of this that <br />Council, staff, and committees can tackle the long range <br />tough issues that face our City. <br /> <br />Some organizations never get around to the long range objectives <br />because they are too busy on day to day work and firefighting <br />and then the bigger long range projects never get tackled. <br />We are fortunate not to be in that position now and it was <br />hard work by a lot of people that got us in such good shape. <br /> <br />Now, back to our long term objectives or priorities. Excellent <br />progress was made on all ten 1980 objectives. Some are very <br />near completion. Eight of ten are being carried over into <br />1981 and seven more have been added. <br /> <br />It takes a lot of confidence in our staff and committees for <br />the Council to tackle all of this at the same time. <br /> <br />Objectives completed in 1980: <br /> <br />Government by Objectives Implementation <br />Advisory Committee Process Enhancement <br /> <br />Major improvements have been made and improvements are still <br />being studied and implemented in these areas but the big <br />push is over. The 1980 objectives continued into 1981 are: <br /> <br />Downtown Development, <br />Liquor Store, <br />Public Safety Building, <br />Long Lake Park, <br />Comprehensive Park Plan, <br />Comprehensive Plan Implementation, <br />Cable T. V . , <br />Police Action Plan Implementation. <br /> <br />Substantial progress has been made on all of these. Progress <br />has not been easy, Long Lake Park has been particularly frustrating. <br />A lot of people and some other organizations are involved in <br />a number of these. This has made our efforts more difficult, <br />but maybe the results well be better as a result. <br /> <br />-2- <br />
