Whereas, since 1995, the City of St. Louis Park has maintained a long-standing
commitment to community visioning, using extensive public engagement to shape the city’s
core policies, budgets and operational priorities; and
Whereas, between March and September 2025, the city initiated the Vision 4.0
engagement process, reaching approximately 1,600 residents through surveys and small-group
discussions, with a specific priority on hearing from youth, renters and BIPOC residents; and
Whereas, the council translated the Vision 4.0 community feedback into actionable
goals through facilitated sessions and an annual retreat, culminating in a final consensus on the
strategic priorities intended to guide the city’s future; and
Now therefore be it resolved by the city council of the City of St. Louis Park, Minnesota,

initiative are hereby approved:
