At its regular meeting of Tuesday, April 28, Pullman City Council adopted goals for 2009. The adopted goal list can be viewed by clicking here.

During January, Mayor Glenn A. Johnson accepted 2009 Pullman City Council goal suggestions from civic groups, the general public, city employees and city departments. During a March 7 retreat, the mayor, councilmembers, and the city supervisor developed a preliminary list of goals for 2009.  The council reviewed the status of 2008 goals, examined the submitted goals and submitted their own goal suggestions as well.

At their second retreat on April 21, the council narrowed and refined the goal list.    Many of the initial goal suggestions were considered to be administrative or on-going in nature, so the fact that a suggested goal was not included in the list does not necessarily mean that the concept was rejected.  In some cases the city council chose to list goals from prior years in order to emphasize the importance of certain policy issues.
