WS — Item 1 WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT Work Session Item No. 1 Date: March 14, 2022 To: City Council From: Sarah Cotton, City Administrator Re: Strategic Planning/Goal Setting Background At the February 7, 2022, City Council Work Session, the City Council discussed scheduling a strategic planning/goal setting session and reviewed the process last completed in 2017. The Council expressed support for bringing in a facilitator in 2022 and directed staff to bring forward recommendations to support the effort. Staff contacted two meeting facilitators who were recommended by other cities. Proposals were received from Craig Rapp, President of Craig Rapp LLC/Rapp Consulting Group, and Craig Waldron, Owner of The Waldron Company. Both facilitators outline a similar approach commencing with a planning meeting with staff to learn about the current operating environment, projects, and potential concerns or issues that need to be addressed. Both facilitators propose utilizing a SWOT analysis to get visibility into the current state of the City and help develop strategic, high level priorities for the coming year. A summary report detailing the process, outcomes, targets, and action plan will be prepared and submitted to the City for use in implementing "the plan" Craig Waldron Proposal — One 8-Hour Session, prefers offsite meeting location.
