8/23/14 - The Brighton City Council is trying to think of how it could improve its performance in the coming year as a goal-setting retreat looms. City Manager Dana Foster gave a presentation last night on the cityâs progress from last yearâs event. The goal-setting retreat is a day-and-a-half long special meeting during which the city council reviews the previous year and look ahead to set goals for the coming year. It is held annually in the fall. Foster told the council that they have done quite well over the past year in areas like formalizing the capital improvement process and employing a wider variety of communications channels to connect with residents. However, he says the city has fallen behind in areas like one-on-one communication with residents and being proactive, rather than reactive, in major undertakings. He asked the council to begin thinking of topics and goals that could be brought forward at the retreat. The council will discuss these topics at regular meetings leading up to the retreat as well. A formal date for the retreat has not yet been set. (TD)
