Diff of CommissionPriorities r1

Revision 1, 2026-02-14T11:52:00Z, by RiverCityClerk.
+ = Commission priorities =
+ Each January the [[CityCommission]] holds a facilitated special work session — a retreat — to set its priorities for the year. The facilitator in the recent record is Mark Willmarth of [[HumanResourcesDepartment]].
+ Formally the retreat sits outside the budget process, but the Finance Director described it at the FY2027 budget hearing as "a critical element of budget development": departments build their requests against what comes out of it. See [[CityBudget]].
+ = 2025 =
+ [[SpecialWorkSession2025-01-03]], a facilitated session on Commission priorities for 2025. The questions put to members, as the minutes record them: what do you want or hope for Great Falls in the next five years; what topics would you like to spend more time discussing today; what is one accomplishment from last year you are most proud of, and why, and what impact did it have; what was not accomplished that you wished had been.
+ = 2026 =
+ [[SpecialWorkSession2026-01-28]], a facilitated session on Commission priorities for 2026. The question set was broader: why did you choose to be part of the Commission; what do you want your legacy to be, collectively or individually, five to ten years out; what accomplishment from last year are you most proud of and why; summarise what the past twelve to eighteen months have been like for the Commission and the community; what questions need answering or matters need addressing over the next twelve to eighteen months; what themes does the Commission see; and why are they important.
+ Round-table discussion at the 2026 retreat established a set of themes, which the minutes record.
