The purpose of the Strategic Plan Quarter 2, 2026 Status Update Report is to <br />inform the City Council of the Strategic Plan progress to date, receive feedback from the City <br />Council, and create dialogue around the plan’s status. <br /> <br />Background: <br />Little Canada Strategic Planning <br />Following the seating of the 2018 elected council members, at the February 13, 2019, City Council <br />workshop, staff proposed engaging Hue Life to complete a city-wide strategic plan. The goal of the <br />proposed strategic planning initiative was to establish a practical vision for the community and identify <br />the city's steps to achieve that vision. <br /> <br />First Strategic Plan - 2019 <br />Following several strategic planning sessions, interviews with Council members and Commission <br />members, and feedback from staff, a five-year strategic plan was presented for City Council adoption <br />on September 11, 2019. <br /> <br />2022 Strategic Plan Update <br />The 2022 Strategic Plan update was presented at the workshop on July 13, 2022, and was formally <br />adopted by the City Council on September 28, 2022. <br /> <br />2025 Strategic Plan <br />As the 5-year strategic plan expired, with over 90.17% of items with measurable completion, staff <br />recommended completing a strategic planning session with the city council and leadership team to <br />develop another 5-year strategic plan with Richard Fursman of HueLife. <br /> <br />The strategic planning retreat was held on February 28 and March 1, 2025. The retreat resulted in four <br />strategic directions to help achieve a practical vision for the community and identified clear steps the <br />city would take to achieve that vision. <br /> <br />The four strategic directions include: <br />• Delivering Dynamic Spaces <br />• Creating Supportive Networks <br />• Empowering High Performance <br />• Providing Transparent Communication
