A citizen-based, long-range goal-setting program for future growth and development is documented in this report. The program spanned over two years in time, involved over 1,100 local citizens, and produced goals and policy guidelines for both the short- and long-range future of the city. The components of the process consisted of staff and support services, an advisory group, a citizen task force, neighborhood goals workshops, policy teams, a citywide survey, and a media feedback program. Each of these components is analyzed from the standpoints of purpose or objectives, selection of members or target group, activities, results, assumptions, and critical comments. The report contains a flow chart of the goals, a brief history of the program, and a program chronology. The appendixes contain a selected bibliography and policy team preliminary reports of their goals, concrete objectives, and specific guidelines to achieve the objectives. (Author/MLF)
