STRATEGIC PLANNING WORKSHOP
Background- Assistant to the City Manager Janice McConnell explained the purpose of this meeting
was to begin developing a set of strategic objectives for the next three year period beginning July 1,
2018 through June 30, 2021 and offered background of the City's first Strategic Plan, adopted in July
2014. The Plan established a vision statement and five Priority Focus Areas for the City, including
Fiscal Accountability, Economic Development, Infrastructure, Land Resources Management, and
Safety and Community Services. As reported in June of 2017, staff completed 82% of the planned
activities, while the remaining 18% included items that are on-going efforts or have adjusted
completion dates. The proposed objectives before Council today serve as the foundation of the next
Strategic Plan and include long-term goals. As public comment, Dennis Bell urged the Council to place
the needs of fire and police at the highest priority level within the new Plan.
Priority Focus Area Review — To provide structure Ms. McConnell led the discussion taking the first
three Priority Focus Areas separately and outlined a set of strategic objectives and associated activities.
When requested by Council, Department Directors added detail and insight into Focus Area Objectives
for which they have primary responsibility. City Council remarks and suggested edits for Fiscal
Accountability, Economic Development, and Infrastructure resulted in a proposed list of additions and
or modifications to the Priority Focus Areas. Objectives involving the PARIS plan, budget based water
rates, an Orange Street economic corridor, and transit villages will be considered as additions to the
Plan and brought back for Council review at a future date.
