Pretorius highlighted some of the infrastructural needs of the library and
welcomed all those present to become members of her organization to help with
the efforts to maintain and care for this historical treasure.
Conservancy Priorities — Speaking for the Redlands Conservancy, Robert Dawes
expressed the hope that the City Council would share many of the priorities of his
organization during this exercise in goal setting. He emphasized maintaining the
historical buildings of Redlands, pursuing efforts to "fix the Redlands Mall" and
preserving the City's citrus heritage as goals which should be adopted by the
Council.
PRESENTATION:
Goal Setting Workshop — The session was a brainstorming session facilitated by
Elaine Schmitz, of The Consulting Team, LLC, who directed the
Councilmembers through a series of exercises intended to provide a means of
identifying potential priorities and establishing a framework for a follow-on
session of goal setting to be scheduled in January 2014. Items identified during
the workshop will be compiled in an after action report produced by the
consultants and made available on request at the City Clerk's Office.
