What Are the Mayor and Council's Top Priorities for 2013-14?

From the City of Waukee website:

Members of the Waukee City Council approved a slate of top priorities at the May 7 council meeting.

These priorities are the actions that will be taken over the next 12 months to bring the community vision to fruition. Both the Community Vision and 2013-2014 City Council Priorities were developed during a strategic planning session held on April 22.

Mayor Bill Peard said he was "pleased with the work that both the City Council and city staff have put into the strategic planning process. The preparation work now will serve dividends for the future of Waukee."
