The City is developing its first six-year Business Plan, based upon a SWOT Analysis and adopted Council goals. There have been significant changes over the past three years, such that the original SWOT Analysis may be outdated- The purpose of this agenda item is to conduct a new SWOT Analysis. The results of the 2003 SWOT Analysis are attached as reference. (See Attachment # 3) Agenda Item # 6: BrainstorminE Brainstorming is a lateral thinking process.
