Just as many people set New Year’s Resolutions, many cities also set goals each January. The city of Menlo Park will be honoring this tradition with the City Council’s annual goal-setting workshop, set for the afternoon of Thursday, Jan. 30.
At these meetings, the City Council usually reviews its work plan with the city’s management and department leaders and establishes formal priorities for the calendar year. It often also involves a review of the city’s financial situation, and a review of the city’s accomplishments of the past year.
Typically, the council maintains an ongoing list of 60 or 70 goals across city departments, but narrows its top do-or-die priorities each year to around five.
It’s also the time of year when the council is generally most open to community members’ requests to consider taking up a new project, so such meetings are generally well-attended and involve the city’s community groups advocating for their various causes and initiatives.
The meeting is set to run from 1 to 5 p.m. in the City Council Chambers at 701 Laurel St. in the Menlo Park Civic Center.
