1. Continue to manage operational budget requests to ensure that budget
grows/shrinks in relative proportion to revenue projections.
2. Development and phased implementation of a plan to attract business to locate
within the city with emphasis on retail. There are two specific fiscal components
to this goal: ensure debt service is covered by revenue; removal or expansion of
the Horizons TIF cap.
1
3. Identify and implement new techniques for achieving sustainable community
sengagement. Community, for this goal, is understood to include residential
1 neighborhoods and businesses.
4. The vitality and growth of a community are in part dependent upon consistent
residential investment. The chances of success are greater when blighted
conditions — which are a detractor to investment — are addressed. This goal is to
develop and implement action strategies designed to foster residential
investment, primarily in existing housing stock.
