DISCUSSION ITEMS
Mayor Valenzuela reported the purpose of this meeting is to continue the
discussion and establishment of Council and Redevelopment Agency goals and
objectives.
I. Goals and Objectives - Redevelopment Agency
Mr. Molendyk indicated that once additional information is available from
the consultant, Wayne Wedin, a formal presentation will be made.
II. Goals and Objectives - City Council
Mr. Molendyk stated that at the study session on January 10. Council con-
curred to prepare a list of what they individually considered to be the
five top priority objectives. Each Councilmember expressed their opinions.
The following five objectives were considered to be the major priorities:
1. Public Safety - This includes, not just fire and police services, but
hazardous conditions which exist such as badly deteriorated streets,
streets which need widening, intersections where there is a need for
traffic signs and signals. Railroad Canyon Road and the Lakeshore
bridge are prime examples of areas which present dangerous and unsafe
conditions. Hazardous situations could be identified on an on-going
basis by city employees during the course of their daily routine and
reported to the Public Works Department for corrective action.
2. Economic Development - There is a need to generate revenue in order
to accomplish goals. We must develop a procedure to attract businesses
and industry. Once we have an economic development program in place,
we should plan a VIP tour and invite County and State officials.
3. Master Planning - Long-range plans must be developed for flood control,
sewers, water, streets, fire stations, parks and hazardous waste controls.
Implementation can be addressed during budget planning.
4. Ima~e - This includes many areas including staff professionalism in
dealing with the public. Some public relations training might be in
order. There is a need for written procedures with guidelines for
issuance of business licenses as well as water department turn-offs.
Also, some portion of the next budget should be set aside for public
relations efforts outside the community. All agencies in the community
should work together in utilizing their talents to benefit the community
and change our negative image to a positive one.

II. Goals and Objectives - City Council - continued.
5. Inter-governmental Relations - We must work to improve the City's image
with outside agencies through better communication. Councilmembers and
City Manager should attend outside functions repeatedly, not just when
we have a problem. We need to meet officials on a State and County
level and keep Lake Elsinore in their minds.
Mr. Molendyk commented that many of Council's concerns have been budgeted
for and are being addressed now. We must determine what needs to be done
to accomplish these goals and develop a game plan and follow it.
