Imagine 
If this strategic plan was diligently followed, in seven years the city would look a lot different. 
The city would have updated, modern, and robust IT infrastructure, high quality fire services, 
renovated and safe parks, resurfaced streets, new sidewalks, modern traffic signal system, 
efficient stormwater system with its own funding source, improved downtown, and recognized as 
a sports tourism powerhouse with tournament quality baseball/softball fields, soccer fields, and 
completed conference center at Regional Park. These civic improvements would not be free but 
could be funded by a combination of reserves, grants, debt, and prudent property tax increases 
resulting in a better quality of life for residents and attracting new private investments.
