TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: CITY ADMII~TISTRATOR HEDGES
DATE: FEBRUARY 23, 2001
SUBJECT: FEBRUARY 27, 2001 WORKSHOP/RETREAT
Like each of you, I am still feeling the excitement and energy from yesterday's retreat and
looking forwazd to the workshop next Tuesday.
Attached is a copy of the strategic plan, as updated and ratified at the February 6, 2001
regular City Council meeting. Each month, we will prepare an updated version of the
strategic plan for distribution at the 4~' Tuesday meeting.
Although the first strategic plan meeting in January covered each goal, objective and
strategy in great detail, it will not be necessary to review them in that manner at each
meeting. The department heads will come prepared to discuss, update and request feedback
on various objectives. The Council may find it useful to make note of objectives to review
as there will be opportunities for anyone present to bring up issues for discussion.
Also attached is a memo to the department heads outlining our next steps for making this
document an even more useful decision-making tool. The modifications they will provide
will be included in the March strategic plan.
Again, I appreciate the continued opportunities to develop the partnership between the staff
and the Council; we look forward to another productive time together next Tuesday.

MEMO
TO: ALL DEPARTMENT HEADS
FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
DATE: FEBRUARY 20, 2001
SUBJECT: STRATEGIC PLAN/NEXT STEPS
As you know, the City Council and staff are enthusiastic about the adoption of the City of
Eagan's Strategic Plan at the February 6, 2001 Regular City Council meeting.
The Strategic Plan will be revisited each month on the fourth (or fifth, as appropriate)
Tuesday of the month in a special workshop setting. These meetings are held at the Fire
Administration building in the conference room. As with all meetings, they are open to the
public and are certainly open to department heads interested in attending.
The next step regarding the Strategic Plan is to essentially split the document into tvvo
documents. The Strategic Plan itself will remain primarily in its same format, to be updated
monthly, published on the web and distributed to the general public. The second document
will function more as an internal document and will include the following additional
information:
• Human Resources costs
• Fiscal Resources costs
• Existing Measures
• Assignments of Councilmembers to objectives in subcommittees of two
This information will be used to present the trade-offs that occur both in terms of staff time
and financial resources as the Council considers its priorities and provides direction to the
staff.
REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
In order to provide a complete and accurate understanding of the tradeoffs and workload
facing the staff for the City Council, it will be necessary to expand our document to include
the information listed above. To that end, I ask that each of you review each
objective/strategy for which you are responsible and provide estimates of the Humai:
Resources costs (in terms of either hours of work or fractions of FTES) and the Fiscal
Resources costs (in terms of dollars, or make note if the item is not included in the
budget) and any existing measures in place that reflect how we might measure the success
of the goals. (i.e. the City's bond rating could be seen as an indicator of a strong, stable tax
base.)
Please compile this information and submit it in writing to Administrative Specialist Hertel
no later than Monday, March 12, 2001 for inclusion at the March Strategic Plan workshop
meeting on Tuesday, March 27, 2001.
I appreciate your help and enthusiasm for this Strategic Plan. I am excited about where we
can go with this together.

This document contains the City of Eagan's Goals and Objectives for the 2001 calendar year and
beyond. The document contains the following information:
• Forward
• Current Status Summary
• Section I -City Council Goals and Objectives (Goals 1-9)

If you have any comments regarding this document, please contact the city at 651-681-4600.
Each goal and its associated objectives and strategies include the responsible city department and
also the name of the person to be contacted for additional information.
The purpose of this document is to identify the priorities that will guide us all in moving forward
as a city. The plan will help the city staff, city council and Eagan citizens respond to these
priorities by aligning personnel, fiscal and capital resources. The plan will help to build the
public's confidence and trust that their local government is working with them on issues that
they believe will improve their quality of life. Organizations grow and prosper when a common
understanding is reached about the organization's future direction and expectations.
The document serves as an overt act of stewardship by planning the City's future strategically. It
helps to bring focus and also highlight what direction the City is taking. The planning process
brings the City Council and City Staff together as well as effectively communicating the future
direction of the City with its citizens.
