The Dalles City Council will hold a goal setting session this Monday afternoon.  Councilors will prioritize their goals for the upcoming year as a precursor to budget work for the 2015-16 fiscal year.  Mayor Steve Lawrence says they have taken a different approach to goal setting, starting with a blank sheet of paper rather than using last year’s goals as a starting point during an earlier meeting.  He says much of the discussion involves policy as much as specific goals.  Funding road maintenance figures to the top the list.  Also on the list up for discussion:  working with partner governmental agencies and non-profits to improve coordination of services, maintaining public safety, and encouraging efficient City government.  The meeting takes place at noon on Monday in The Dalles City Hall.
