How aligned is your City Council? Reaching an agreement on common goals helps city government run smoothly and provides clear direction to staff regarding council priorities. This spring, ECICOG facilitated council goal-setting sessions for the City of North Liberty. While ECICOG was a new facilitation partner, North Liberty has a long history of making sure everyone is on the same page with biennial goals.
The goal setting process involved workshops with the city council as well as staff leadership. During the sessions, potential priorities were reviewed through the lens of the city’s recently completed comprehensive plan. The final report summarized recent accomplishments, opportunities and challenges in the external environment, council goals, major capital improvement projects and highlighted how these projects align with the city’s long-term vision.
