Report Introduction
This report provides the FY2025–26 Mid-Year Update on implementation of the FY2023–2030 Strategic Plan. As this update represents the midpoint of the entire seven-year Strategic Plan horizon, staff prepared additional analytical summaries to provide a more comprehensive view of progress to date.
In addition to summarizing overall implementation status and remaining active initiatives, the report presents progress by fiscal year and by strategic goal, cumulative workload across fiscal years, and organizational capacity considerations. These include vacancy levels and other contextual factors that have influenced implementation pacing.
NOTE: Percentages are generated and rounded by AchieveIt and may not total 100%. They cannot be modified. Item counts reflect the most accurate totals.
Strategic Plan Implementation Overview
This section provides a summary of Strategic Plan implementation to date. It clarifies how work has progressed across fiscal years and provides context for the current workload.
The Strategic Plan is cumulative. Initiatives not completed in their originating fiscal year remain active and carry forward into subsequent years. Implementation sequencing is paced by staffing capacity, available funding, Council priorities, and required interdepartmental coordination. .
Completion was strong in FY2023–24. In FY2024–25, completion rates shifted as several large initiatives extended beyond their original timelines. FY2025–26 reflects both initiatives due this year and continued work from prior fiscal years.
As of December 31, 2025, 242 initiatives remain active across the organization.

Accumulation of Strategic Plan Initiatives by Fiscal Year This section shows how Strategic Plan initiatives have layered across fiscal years. Each chart builds on the prior year, reflecting the status of initiatives launched in that year and how remaining work has carried forward.
Taken together, the charts illustrate how Year 1 initiatives progressed, how Year 2 added to the remaining workload, and how Year 3 reflects the cumulative total to date.
Ongoing items are excluded from the item counts in this section. Because these items represent statutory or non-discretionary program requirements that recur or continue without defined end dates, they cannot be “closed out” or removed from the workload. Including them in this cumulative analysis would artificially inflate or obscure the year-over-year comparison. They remain a consistent and important part of staff workload but are excluded here to provide a clearer view of discrete Strategic Plan initiative progress.
