On January 31 and February 1, 2025, City Council held a retreat to discuss their aspirations for Wheat Ridge over the next 15 years. At the retreat, Council worked on creating new vision and mission statements and agreed that Councilors Hoppe and Hultin would propose a final version of each for consideration. Included with this report are the final draft statements, ideals to support and operationalize the vision and mission, and priorities for 2025 and 2026 that draw from the existing workplan. While staff is focused on a lengthily immediate workplan, city management recommends Council move forward with a final version of the vision and mission and allow the next Council to finalize specific goals and priorities for 2027 and beyond.
