The City of Grants Pass would like to receive comments and suggestions from community groups and interested individuals on what they believe are the highest priority, most important things for the City to accomplish. Goal setting helps us determine our priorities, get organized, make big decisions, and realize our dreams. The act of merely setting a goal brings about positive change for many people. When setting goals we are creating an exciting challenge for ourselves. Goal setting establishes a process for evaluating priorities and prioritizing goals to be accomplished over a given period of time. This is an important part of Council's goal setting process. The goal setting process does this by: • Identifying the most important things for us to accomplish for our community. • Establishing organizational responsibility and reasonable time frames for achieving them. • Allocating the resources necessary for programs and projects to implement them. Setting goals and priorities should drive the budget process, not follow it. http://www.grantspassoregon.gov/DocumentCenter/View/5345
