In 2019, the City Council approved a 5-year <br />Strategic Plan and established a practical vision for the community and identified several clear <br />steps the City will take to achieve that vision. <br />The primary goal of the strategic plan was to establish a practical vision for the community to work <br />towards over the next 3-5 years. This vision included the following core vision objectives: <br />•Has a defined town square plan <br />•Has flexible gathering spaces that engage everyone <br />•Increased diversified citizen engagement <br />•Modernized codes and all records are incorporated into efficient, functional formats <br />•Sustainable core services that are accountable to the public <br />•Enhanced internal and external trail system <br />•Provides additional park amenities and opportunities to engage the community <br />•Revitalized key commercial corridors <br />•City is maintaining and creating new housing opportunities <br />From this, four strategic directions were identified that would help to achieve this vision: <br />1.Enhancing and Empowering the Community <br />2.Creating Operational Efficiency <br />3.Maximize the City’s Assets to Catalyze Development <br />4.Mandating Action and Accountability <br />Each of these strategic directions formed the basis for initiatives that could be accomplished over <br />the first 12-18 months. City staff utilized these strategic directions and initiatives to guide the <br />2020-2022 budget processes. Since it has now been approximately 3 years since the initial <br />strategic planning workshop, it is an ideal time to provide an update on the progress that has been <br />made in each of these areas and re-evaluate and refresh the strategic plan for 2023 and 2024.
