Memo 92/93 Priorities
CITY OF HOPKINS
MEMORANDUM
Date: June 5, 1992
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: steven c. Mielke, city Manager
Subject: Discussion of 1992/93 priorities
Attached to this memorandum you will find both original and
redrafted language for the "A Priorities" set by the City
council at the February retreat. It is my hope to discuss
the redrafted language with the city council and to update
the City council on the status of each of these issues.
I would ask that the City council read the priorities as
they have been redrafted and to compare them with the "A
priorities" listed on the 1992 Goals/Issues page. I will
verbally update the council at the worksession on these
issues.
