The Council reviewed the draft objectives and, in some cases, suggested modifications and additions. Shown below for each objective is the original draft language proposed by the staff and, following that, any modifications or additions suggested by the Council. Based on the suggestions from Council, revised objectives are shown in some cases, which will be presented for consideration at the November workshop. Additionally, based on the workshop discussion, a broad, overarching statement is proposed, which could form the basis of a mission statement for the City. If desired, that will be added to the agenda for the November workshop. Objective 1: Draft: Continue progress in the redevelopment of the former naval property. Modification: None. Objective 2: Draft: Identify funding and develop master plans for providing and maintaining infrastructure improvements. Modification: None.
