Charlotte Edmundson, Strategic Planning Manager, advised that the plan established a framework for integrating the strategic plan developed in 1986. Basically, the plan addressed three areas: (1) The formation of three committees to work with the City Council; an Executive Committee of nine department heads within the City who would take a lead role in strategy implementation; a Working Committee comprised of administrative and technical managers in the City who would handle administrative tasks; and a Citizens Executive Committee involving the citizens as much as possible, as precedented by the previous 24-member Steering Committee. (2) Development of a monitoring system to allow future measurement of progress in the implementation of strategies. (3) Promotion of the strategic plan concept, both in City government and in the community. Mr. Lou Herz, 2081 Margie Lane, Anaheim, addressed the Council stating that he had reviewed the objectives of the workplan, and it was his hope that the integrity of residential areas which were included in the Katella Redevelopment Project proposal would be preserved and maintained; that the addition of open space would be better implemented than in Redevelopment Project Alpha or that in the proposed Katella Redevelopment Project; that in addressing blight, care should be taken to determine whether the blight were genuine or technical; and that in implementing the plan, consideration be given to diminishing government intervention in the progess of development in the City. Councilman Bay briefly described the background of how the Vision 2000 Plan was established, the workshops with people representing the business and residential communities throughout the City, as well as those who have been involved with civic activities for many years. Traditionally, City Councils over the years had been protective of single family residential areas, and more public involvement in the process of government would be welcomed. At the conclusion of the discussion, Councilman Pickler moved that the Vision 2000 Work Plan for Fiscal Year 1987/88 be approved. Councilman Bay seconded the motion. Councilwoman Kaywood was absent.
