BACKGROUND
The City has been committed to a strategic planning process since 1998, a process that focuses staff resources on achievable policy goals and objectives set by the City Council. Virtual strategic planning sessions were conducted on January 25 and 27, 2022. During the strategic planning sessions, the City Council discussed recent accomplishments, completed a SWOT analysis (evaluating strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats), identified three-year goals and listed specific objectives for the next six-month period, which runs through July 27, 2022. Public input was also received and discussed at both sessions.
The three-year goals (2022-2025) were established as follows (not in priority order):
· Modernize the City’s Communication Systems
· Vitalize Core Commercial Areas of the City
· Increase Environmental Sustainability
· Invest in the City’s Infrastructure
· Maintain a High Level of Public Safety
· Enhance the Delivery of City Services
The City Council then listed and discussed six-month objectives that focus staff time and resources to help achieve the above identified three-year goals. At the February 8, 2022 Council meeting, the objectives were adopted after minor modifications/additions were made by Council.
