Overview

City Council created a framework for strategic planning, including six goals and strategies.

Staff members worked with Council to develop a vision, mission, and core values for the City. These serve as the framework for our operations moving forward.

How We Apply Strategic Planning to Our Work

  • City Staff work to align operations and budget requests with the vision, mission, and values, strategic framework and direction from City Council.
  • Department work plans are organized and demonstrate how work performed aligns with the strategic goals.
  • Individual work plans are developed in alignment with strategic planning to demonstrate how an individual's work aligns with the City's strategic goals.
