The plan itself and the process for <br />developing it will follow a strategic planning format. <br />Strategic planning has specified elements that remain relatively <br />constant regardless of who is doing the planning or from which <br />sector or professional discipline one models the plan. Those include: <br />1. Identification of and inclusion of key stakeholders. <br />People who have special interests related to a given service or policy <br />azea, those who aze consumers/users of services, competitors and <br />collaborators in the delivery of those services, people with particular <br />expertise and/or responsibility related to the area being developed, <br />and members of the larger community who bring a broader more <br />public citizen viewpoint will all be included as County stakeholders. <br />2.

This step is intended to provide a comprehensive <br />understanding of the present circumstances and situation facing the <br />organization(s) and community. Input regarding public satisfaction <br />and opinion is intended to be a part of this step. Collaborative work <br />with public and private partners with outside funding to conduct a <br />citizen survey and develop base data regarding general opinions and <br />satisfaction of the citizens of the County will be explored. <br />S <br />Page 25 <br />
