He <br /> noted potential strategic initiatives that had been identified in prior interviews and categorized <br /> them in terms of the four strategic themes: people, processes, infrastructure, and finance <br /> (internal-facing); community image and public engagement(external-facing); parks and public <br /> spaces; and housing and economic development. City Councilmembers also proposed additional <br /> strategic initiatives. A straw poll for each proposed initiative gave a relative priority ranking that <br /> each initiative does merit further consideration, may merit that consideration, or does not merit <br /> further consideration at this time.
