Analysis:
In 2009, the City Council began an annual strategic planning process to develop consensus on a Mission Statement, Three-Year Goals, and corresponding Priority Strategic Objectives. This process is ongoing and is a critical component of maintaining the City in a fiscally sustainable manner. In fulfilling this process, the City Council met on February 7, 2019, to review and update the Three-Year Goals and their Priority Strategic Objectives.
The Three-Year Goals are organized into five categories as follows:
- Enhance and Maintain High Quality City Services
- Enhance and Maintain the Infrastructure
- Strengthen Long-Term Financial and Economic Sustainability
- Enhance and Modernize Public Safety Service Delivery
Each of these categories includes a list of Six-Month Strategic Objectives. The Strategic Objectives contained in the matrix all gained consensus at the Strategic Planning Retreat. Additionally, the Strategic Objectives were brought forth to City Council on March 4, 2019, where they were approved in their entirety. The attached Strategic Objectives Matrix contains a status and comments column that are updated to reflect the most recent activity on each item that was identified at the Council Strategic Planning Session. The status is reported to Council monthly.
