Strategic planning discussion
Discussed
City Manager Ben Reeves presented videos on organizational vision and Evan Berrett continued. The council discussed why the existing vision statement may not fit the city's direction and the concept of 'The Eagle Mountain Way'. The refined vision centers on a distinct way of life, rural heritage, open space and recreation, and prosperity in Utah County. The council brainstormed priorities for each focus area. The agenda labels the item a resolution but no vote was recorded.
